Bug description:round doesn't work with non-14 precision

Description:
------------
Round() doesn't work right when the precision is set to e.g. 16.



The last comment in #51701 also makes notice of this. (However it seems
unrelated to that bugreport.)



Bug #5500 states that you shouldn't set the precision higher than the
data-type can hold. If that's still true I think we should add a warning
when setting the precision too high instead of just accepting it and trying
to work it out.



_php_math_round in ext/standard/math.c cites:

  if ((precision_places = php_intlog10abs(value)) > 0) {

    precision_places = 14 - php_intlog10abs(value);

  } else {

    precision_places = 14;

  }



and I guess 14 shouldn't be hardcoded there.

Test script:
---------------
php > ini_set('precision', 30);

php > var_dump(round((5.5/100), 3));

Expected result:
----------------
float(0.055)



Actual result:
--------------
float(0.0550000000000000002775557561563)
