Write exact results past the range of a double (closes #16)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m43s

An exact result outside the normal range of a double, such as 2^1200,
10^400 or 2^-1200, was refused because format wrote every result
through float64. Such a result is now written from its exact value,
rounded to 17 significant digits with trailing zeros dropped, through a
big.Float precise enough to round as the exact value would. Results
inside the range are written as before, and a power computed in float64
must still be a normal double. The tests check the written text of these
results, the refusals just past the 4096-bit limit, and the time taken
to write the largest and smallest numbers under it.
