More options for mpf-to-string conversion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

More options should be available for to_str, and to the user via nstr/nprint:

* It should be possible to choose whether to display the number in
fixed-point or floating-point format
* Even with the automatic fixed-point/floating-point detection, the
threshhold should be configurable
* It should be possible to choose an arbitrary base (2-36). Conversion
should be efficient for base 2 and 16.
* Directed rounding would be useful (at least in base 10). E.g. for
printing intervals, so that the printed decimal interval is at least as
wide as the exact binary one.
