While working on I/O for std::decimal types (which I'm not going to
complete for gcc 8) I realised that std::num_get still uses the old
COW std::string for reading floating point types, which always
allocates memory.
With this patch (which is missing the fixes for the linker script to
give the new symbols the right version) we use the new std::string, so
if the value being read from the stream is shorter than 16 bytes we
don't need to allocate, and so can read much faster.
I think this is worth changing, but I need to do some more ABI
verification (and fix the linker script).
