* Fix failure of _Py_dg_dtoa to remove trailing zeros
* Add regression test and news entry
* Add explanation about why it's safe to strip trailing zeros
* Make code safer, clean up comments, add change note at top of file
* Nitpick: avoid implicit int-to-float conversion in tests
Move the dtoa.h header file to the internal C API as pycore_dtoa.h:
it only contains private functions (prefixed by "_Py").
The math and cmath modules must now be compiled with the
Py_BUILD_CORE macro defined.
Fix an unlikely memory leak on conversion from string to float in the
function _Py_dg_strtod() used by float(str), complex(str),
pickle.load(), marshal.load(), etc.
Fix an unlikely memory leak in _Py_dg_strtod() on "undfl:" label:
rewrite memory management in this function to always release all
memory before exiting the function. Initialize variables to NULL, and
set them to NULL after calling Bfree() at the "cont:" label.
Note: Bfree(NULL) is well defined: it does nothing.

Issue #7632: When Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER is defined, disable the
private memory allocation scheme in dtoa.c, along with a piece of code
that caches powers of 5 for future use. This makes it easier to
detect dtoa.c memory leaks with Valgrind or similar tools.
Patch by Stefan Krah.

........
- incorporate and adapt David Gay's dtoa and strtod
into the Python core
- on platforms where we can use Gay's code (almost
all!), repr(float) is based on the shortest
sequence of decimal digits that rounds correctly.
- add sys.float_repr_style attribute to indicate
whether we're using Gay's code or not
- add autoconf magic to detect and enable SSE2
instructions on x86/gcc
- slight change to repr and str: repr switches
to exponential notation at 1e16 instead of
1e17, str switches at 1e11 instead of 1e12
