[svn-r10445] Purpose: Bug fix

Description: In test_conv_flt_1() in dtypes.c, the case of Intel-Linux or
AMD-Linux "long double" wasn't considered.  The precision is smaller than
the size.  There may be some garbage left in the unused bytes during hardware
conversion.

Solution:  Clear those bytes before comparison.

Platforms tested:  h5committest and mir, modi4.
