Issue #3166: Make long -> float (and int -> float) conversions 

correctly rounded, using round-half-to-even.  This ensures that the
value of float(n) doesn't depend on whether we're using 15-bit digits
or 30-bit digits for Python longs.

/* Notes on the method: for simplicity, assume v is positive and >=
2**DBL_MANT_DIG. (For negative v we just ignore the sign until the
end; for small v no rounding is necessary.) Write n for the number
of bits in v, so that 2**(n-1) <= v < 2**n, and n > DBL_MANT_DIG.
Some terminology: the *rounding bit* of v is the 1st bit of v that
will be rounded away (bit n - DBL_MANT_DIG - 1); the *parity bit*
is the bit immediately above. The round-half-to-even rule says
that we round up if the rounding bit is set, unless v is exactly
halfway between two floats and the parity bit is zero.
Write d[0] ... d[m] for the digits of v, least to most significant.
Let rnd_bit be the index of the rounding bit, and rnd_digit the
index of the PyLong digit containing the rounding bit. Then the
bits of the digit d[rnd_digit] look something like:
rounding bit
|
v
msb -> sssssrttttttttt <- lsb
^
|
parity bit
where 's' represents a 'significant bit' that will be included in
the mantissa of the result, 'r' is the rounding bit, and 't'
represents a 'trailing bit' following the rounding bit. Note that
if the rounding bit is at the top of d[rnd_digit] then the parity
bit will be the lsb of d[rnd_digit+1]. If we set
lsb = 1 << (rnd_bit % PyLong_SHIFT)
then d[rnd_digit] & (PyLong_BASE - 2*lsb) selects just the
significant bits of d[rnd_digit], d[rnd_digit] & (lsb-1) gets the
trailing bits, and d[rnd_digit] & lsb gives the rounding bit.
We initialize the double x to the integer given by digits
d[rnd_digit:m-1], but with the rounding bit and trailing bits of
d[rnd_digit] masked out. So the value of x comes from the top
DBL_MANT_DIG bits of v, multiplied by 2*lsb. Note that in the loop
that produces x, all floating-point operations are exact (assuming
that FLT_RADIX==2). Now if we're rounding down, the value we want
to return is simply
x * 2**(PyLong_SHIFT * rnd_digit).
and if we're rounding up, it's
(x + 2*lsb) * 2**(PyLong_SHIFT * rnd_digit).
Under the round-half-to-even rule, we round up if, and only
if, the rounding bit is set *and* at least one of the
following three conditions is satisfied:
(1) the parity bit is set, or
(2) at least one of the trailing bits of d[rnd_digit] is set, or
(3) at least one of the digits d[i], 0 <= i < rnd_digit
is nonzero.
Finally, we have to worry about overflow. If v >= 2**DBL_MAX_EXP,
or equivalently n > DBL_MAX_EXP, then overflow occurs. If v <
2**DBL_MAX_EXP then we're usually safe, but there's a corner case
to consider: if v is very close to 2**DBL_MAX_EXP then it's
possible that v is rounded up to exactly 2**DBL_MAX_EXP, and then
again overflow occurs.
