[PATCH] newlib: Fix memory leak regarding gdtoa-based _ldtoa_r().

After the commit a4705d387f78, printf() for floating-point values
causes a memory leak. The legacy _ldtoa_r() assumed the char pointer
returned will be free'ed by Bfree(). However, gdtoa-based _ldtoa_r()
returns the pointer returned by gdtoa() which should be free'ed by
freedtoa(). Due to this issue, the caller of _ldtoa_r() fails to free
the allocated char buffer. This is the cause of the said memory leak.

With this patch, a new buffer is allocated using Balloc() and the
buffer returned by gdtoa() is copied into it. Then, free the original
buffer using freedtoa().

Fixes: a4705d387f78 ("ldtoa: Import gdtoa from OpenBSD.")
