This patch implements __fpurge(3):

As noted there, neither fpurge(3) nor __fpurge(3) are portable; the
former is BSD, the latter originally Solaris and now also in glibc,
making it an increasingly more common form.
Patch and new header attached.

Generally speaking, I am opposed to furtherly extending newlib with non-standardized functions like these.

I don't know what others (esp. Cygwin) think about such kind of extensions, but I'd like to see "not implemented" for RTEMS (i.e. at minimum #ifndef __rtems__).
