implement fp_toradix_n()

It is not implemened yet, just added to the headerfile. Therefore I don't
think it is a ABI breakage if I change maxlen from int to unsigned int.

The function releases fp_toradix() for the work which in turn now calls
fp_toradix_n() with a largest possible maxlen parameter.
