fix incorrect rounding in printf floating point corner cases
the printf floating point formatting code contains an optimization to
avoid computing digits that will be thrown away by rounding at the
specified (or default) precision. while it was correctly retaining all
places up to the last decimal place to be printed, it was not
retaining enough precision to see the next nonzero decimal place in
all cases. this could cause incorrect rounding down in round-to-even
(default) rounding mode, for example, when printing 0.5+DBL_EPSILON
with "%.0f".

in the fix, LDBL_MANT_DIG/3 is a lazy (non-sharp) upper bound on the
number of zeros between any two nonzero decimal digits.
