seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose

information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.

seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.

seq now uses long double internally rather than double.

+	* coreutils.texi (seq invocation): seq now uses long double
+	internally rather than double.  It now defaults to a minimal fixed
+	point format if possible.  It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
+	Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but
+	not 32 bits; typically they work these days.  Improve discussion
+	of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers.
