get_real in cff_dict.c fails on some locales

[simoncozens]

See sile-typesetter/sile#573. cff_dict.c parses real numbers using the strtod library function. However, when the locale is set to one where LC_NUMERIC sets the decimal point to something other than ., get_real fails because it is expecting the decimal point to be the period character.

We should fix this locally, probably by providing our own non-locale-aware strod, and also notify upstream.

I updated this on the TL side today and a couple days ago. A non-locale-dependent strtod has been written, but we belatedly realized we could not reproduce the bug with the original dvipdfmx (which still uses strtod). Help?
