fix integer overflow in float printf needed-precision computation
if the requested precision is close to INT_MAX, adding LDBL_MANT_DIG/3+8 overflows. in practice the resulting undefined behavior manifests as a large negative result, which is then used to compute the new end pointer (z) with a wildly out-of-bounds value (more overflow, more undefined behavior). the end result is at least incorrect output and character count (return value); worse things do not seem to happen, but detailed analysis has not been done. this patch fixes the overflow by performing the intermediate computation as unsigned; after division by 9, the final result necessarily fits in int.
