BUG: fix #4381: precision loss on string -> longdouble conversion
Avoid going through python floats when converting string to longdouble. This makes it dramatically easier to produce full-precision long double numbers. Fixed are the constructor (np.longdouble("1.01")), np.fromfile, np.fromstring, np.loadtxt, and np.genfromtxt (and functions based on it). Also fixed is precision loss when using np.tofile. This also fixes #1481, poor handling of bad data in fromfile and fromstring. If the function strtod_l is not available, almost none of this will work, and many tests will fail.
