Rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to __LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI
Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble
upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support
alternative formats for long double.
Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to
__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work
has settled down. The command used was
git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \
xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g'
