Indeed, it seems that this alternative set of *printf functions uses 3
digits for the exponent also for 'long double' arguments. I'm updating the
testsuite.

        * tests/test-vasnprintf-posix.c (test_function): Allow 3-digit
        exponents in %e and %g results on 'long double'. Needed for mingw's
        improved *printf functions.
        * tests/test-vasprintf-posix.c (test_function): Likewise.
        * tests/test-snprintf-posix.h (test_function): Likewise.
        * tests/test-sprintf-posix.h (test_function): Likewise.
