4223b3da68 deal with BC_LINE_LENGTH not being honored
FreeBSD 12, Dragonfly BSD, and presumably other BSDs don't recognize the
BC_LINE_LENGTH env var and might split the output at 70 chars.

Fixes #3414

b29b026106 math: Set BC_LINE_LENGTH to a very high number
This means we no longer have to do manual stitching which improves performance.

11f4e64e45 Revert "Use BC_LINE_LENGTH=2 for bc."
This would fail on very long numbers, e.g.

`math "1 + 1233242342353453463458972349873489273984873289472914712894791824712941"`

would now return "42", where it previously returned the correct "1233242342353453463458972349873489273984873289472914712894791824712942".

This reverts commit 26e781ef5a.

26e781ef5a Use BC_LINE_LENGTH=2 for bc.
It's not the case that macOS and old BC doesn't respect this environment
variable, just that they don't have special behavior when it's set to 0.
However, there is rather universal favorable behavior with a value of 2.

Output is of the form:
\
999999999999999999999999999999999...

with the second line being arbitrarily long. So just grab that line
instead of stitching with `string`.

This can yield a 25-30% speedup.

d97c22df2d add floating point output to math command
This makes it easy for the user to request floating point output with the
desired number of digits after the decimal point (not to be confused with
significant digits).

Note that this is just a thin wrapper so someone can say `math -s3 10 / 3`
rather than `math "scale=3; 10 /3"`.

Resolves #1643

3e0ff6db2a math: Join lines manually
This is an issue with 15-year old versions of bc that don't support BC_LINE_LENGTH.

Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (https://github.com/m-r-r) for the idea
of printf.
