Introduce new private API function _PyLong_AsScaledDouble. Not used yet,

but will be the foundation for Good Things:
+ Speed PyLong_AsDouble.
+ Give PyLong_AsDouble the ability to detect overflow.
+ Make true division of long/long nearly as accurate as possible (no
  spurious infinities or NaNs).
+ Return non-insane results from math.log and math.log10 when passing a
  long that can't be approximated by a double better than HUGE_VAL.

/* _PyLong_AsScaledDouble returns a double x and an exponent e such that
the true value is approximately equal to x * 2**(SHIFT*e). e is >= 0.
x is 0.0 if and only if the input is 0 (in which case, e and x are both
zeroes). Overflow is impossible. Note that the exponent returned must
be multiplied by SHIFT! There may not be enough room in an int to store
e*SHIFT directly. */
