Paul Eggert bd38edc817 printf, isinf, etc.: noncanonical != NaN
Do not require that isinf, printf, etc. treat noncanonical
values as NaNs.  Instead, require only that they do not crash.
Problem reported by Joseph Myers in:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00244.html

o	Test only that noncanonical values do not cause crashes, not that
they are treated as NaNs.  In some cases this means a larger
output buffer is needed.

This function does not support size specifiers as in C99 (@code{hh}, @code{ll},
@code{j}, @code{t}, @code{z}) on some platforms:
BeOS.
@item
printf of @samp{long double} numbers is unsupported on some platforms:
BeOS.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
Formatting noncanonical @samp{long double} numbers produces
nonmeaningful results on some platforms:
glibc and others, on x86, x86_64, IA-64 CPUs.
@item
When formatting an integer with grouping flag, this function inserts thousands
separators even in the "C" locale on some platforms:
NetBSD 5.1.
@item
On some platforms, this function does not set @code{errno} or the
stream error indicator on attempts to write to a read-only stream:
Cygwin 1.7.9.
