Subject: [PATCH] Use fabsl instead of fabs on long double operand in floatscan.c

This fixes a compiler warning with clang:

floatscan.c:304:13: warning: absolute value function 'fabs' given an
argument of type 'long double' but has parameter of type 'double' which may
cause truncation of value [-Wabsolute-value].

This does change the behavior of the expression because the value is no
longer rounded to double, however from my reading of the code, the rounding
doesn't seem intended. However, if it is, I suggest introducing an explicit
cast, to document the intent.
