py/modbuiltins: For round() builtin use nearbyint instead of round.
The C nearbyint function has exactly the semantics that Python's round() requires, whereas C's round() requires extra steps to handle rounding of numbers half way between integers. So using nearbyint reduces code size and potentially eliminates any source of errors in the handling of half-way numbers. Also, bare-metal implementations of nearbyint can be more efficient than round, so further code size is saved (and efficiency improved). nearbyint is provided in the C99 standard so it should be available on all supported platforms.
