Addresses the float -> string conversion, using David Gay's code which
was added in Mark Dickinson's checkin r71663.
Also addresses these, which are intertwined with the short repr
changes:
- Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting with commas no longer works poorly
with leading zeros.
- PEP 378 Format Specifier for Thousands Separator: implemented
for floats.
- 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

In PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches, temporarily bump the recursion
limit, so that in the most common case PyObject_IsSubclass will
not raise a recursion error we have to ignore anyway.

PyErr_NormalizeException may not set an error, so convert the PyErr_SetObject
call on hitting the recursion limit into just assigning it to the arguments provided.

This is incomplete, but I want to get some version into the next alpha. I am still working on:
Documentation.
More tests.
Implement for floats.
In addition, there's an existing bug with 'n' formatting that carries forward to thousands grouping (issue 5515).

PyImport_AppendInittab() took a char * as a first argument even though that
string was stored beyond the life of the call. Changed the signature to be
const char * to help make this point.

_warnings was importing itself to get an attribute. That's bad if warnings gets
called in a thread that was spawned by an import itself.
Last part to close#1665206.
