// Converts the given double 'v' to ascii.
// The result should be interpreted as buffer * 10^(point-length).
// The buffer will be null-terminated.
//
// The input v must be > 0 and different from NaN, and Infinity.
//
// The output depends on the given mode:
//  - SHORTEST: produce the least amount of digits for which the internal
//   identity requirement is still satisfied. If the digits are printed
//   (together with the correct exponent) then reading this number will give
//   'v' again. The buffer will choose the representation that is closest to
//   'v'. If there are two at the same distance, than the number is round up.
//   In this mode the 'requested_digits' parameter is ignored.
//  - FIXED: produces digits necessary to print a given number with
//   'requested_digits' digits after the decimal point. The produced digits
//   might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the gaps with '0's.
//   Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
//   Halfway cases are rounded up. The call toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns
//     buffer="2", point=0.
//   Note: the length of the returned buffer has no meaning wrt the significance
//   of its digits. That is, just because it contains '0's does not mean that
//   any other digit would not satisfy the internal identity requirement.
//  - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
//   Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
//   'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
//   which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
//   Halfway cases are again rounded up.
// 'BignumDtoa' expects the given buffer to be big enough to hold all digits
// and a terminating null-character.
