I have confirmed new gdtoa code works with a simple printf test
for the following two platforms.

- aarch64 (128bit long double with little endian)
- armv7l (64bit long double with little endian)

Actually, LDBL_MANT_DIG == DBL_MANT_DIG in armv7l platform, so
gdtoa code would not be used. To make gdtoa code be used forcibly,
a simple patch was applied for vfprintf.c and gdtoa-ldtoa.c.
Without this patch, _dtoa_r is used even for long double, which
also works as expected.
