[PATCH] clean up newlib documentation

[Bob Wilson]

Since no one "official" has yet answered my question about copyright 
requirements etc. for contributing a new port, I thought I might get started 
by contributing some fixes to the newlib documentation.  This is a big patch, 
but there are only a few separate issues:

* There are lots of places where the hyphenation is incorrect.  The patch 
fixes a lot of places where "floating-point", "single-precision" and 
"double-precision" need to be hyphenated but were not.

* The current documentation uses all 3 of "nonzero", "non-zero" and "non 
zero".  The last variant ("non zero") seems incorrect so I replaced it with 
"nonzero", which is what the GCC project uses.  I didn't attempt to fix all 
the uses of "non-zero".

* The locale documentation uses double single quotes inside of code, e.g., 
<<``C''>>, which is not right.  It might look fine for some output formats, 
but it ought be just regular double quotes.

* There are many places where both TeX and non-TeX versions of a description 
are provided, especially for libm.  This was written with @iftex and @ifinfo.  
If you then produce HTML output, you end up with neither version, which is 
really bad, especially because this shows up in the middle of sentences, etc.  
The patch changes these cases to use @iftex and @ifnottex.

* There are several glaring typos in the docs, e.g., "exp1.0nt" instead of 
"exponent".  I fixed these, as well as a few comment typos that I stumbled 
across.

I tested this by running "make info" and browsing through the output.

Is this OK to commit?  I think I have write access for newlib from working on 
binutils.  If someone else would like to commit this for me, that would be 
fine, too.
