numfmt: improve processing throughput by 800%
The devmsg() calls that took quote_n() arguments, didn't normally output anything, but still incurred the overhead of those quote_n() calls. * src/numfmt.c (devmsg): Move the inline function with _internal_ enablement check to... * src/system.h: ...here as a variadic macro, with the enablement check at the outer level. * src/factor.c: As per numfmt.c but there is no performance change in this case. * NEWS: Mention the significant performance improvement.

the tape before each pass, avoids redundant writes to empty files,
