float128: Add strfromf128, strtof128, and wcstof128 to the manual
* manual/math.texi (Mathematics): Add description for _FloatN and _FloatNx types and mentions that they are not support in glibc for any architecture, so far. * manual/arith.texi (wcstof, wcstold): Replace the mention to stdlib.h with wchar.h. (Parsing of Floats): Add descriptions for strtofN and wcstofN. (Printing of Floats): Add description for strfromfN.
