float: Fix LDBL_MAX value on Linux/PowerPC.
* m4/float_h.m4 (gl_FLOAT_H): Set FLOAT_H and REPLACE_FLOAT_LDBL also on Linux/PowerPC. * lib/float.in.h (LDBL_MAX): Redefine also on Linux/PowerPC. * lib/float.c (gl_LDBL_MAX): Also define on Linux/PowerPC. * doc/posix-headers/float.texi: Mention Linux/PowerPC as an affected platform.
