Fix strtold on 32-bit sparc (and probably others) (BZ #16965)
This patch fixes an issue observed running the tst-strtod-round test on 32 bit sparc. In some conditions, strtold calls round_and_return, which in turn calls __mpn_rshift with cnt = 0, while stdlib/rshift.c explicitly says that cnts should satisfy 0 < CNT < BITS_PER_MP_LIMB. In this case, the code end up doing a logical shift right of the same amount than the register, which is undefined in the C standard. Due to this bug, 32-bit sparc does not correctly convert the value "0x1p-16446", but it is likely that other architectures are also affected for other input values.
