The pointer alias comparison will be optimized away by the compiler,
and gcc and clang will evaluate differently (clang evaluates as
false, while gcc as true).
Avoid potential stack overflow from unbounded alloca. Use the existing
scratch_buffer instead.
Add testcases to exercise the code as suggested by Adhemerval Zanella Netto.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble
upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support
alternative formats for long double.
Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to
__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work
has settled down. The command used was
git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \
xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g'

The ldbl redirects for ieee128 have some jagged edges when
inspecting and manipulating symbols directly.
e.g asprintf is unconditionally redirected to __asprintfieee128
thus any tests relying on GCC's redirect behavior will encounter
problems if they inspect the symbol names too closely.
I've mitigated tests which expose the limitations of the
ldbl -> f128 redirects by giving them knowledge about the
redirected symbol names.
Hopefully there isn't much user code which depends on this
implementation specific behavior.
