Rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to __LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI
Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support alternative formats for long double. Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to __LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work has settled down. The command used was git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \ xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g' Reviewed-by: Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.ibm.com>
