seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double.

+ * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
+ It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
+ It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
+ * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
+ * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
+ (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
+ (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
+ (first, step, last): Remove.
+ (usage): Update to match new behavior.
+ (struct operand, operand): New type.
+ (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
+ All uses changed.
+ Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
+ (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
+ new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
+ valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
+ (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
+ Print long double, not double.
+ (get_width_format): Remove.
+ (get_default_format): New function.
+ (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
+ Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
+ the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
+ * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
+ (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
+ implementation should do the right thing.
