Changes from version 4.2.0 to version 4.2.1

• Bug fixes (see the fixed bugs on the MPFR 4.2.0 page and/or the ChangeLog file).
• Improved MPFR manual.
• Configure tests: replaced the test of the link with GMP, in order to avoid the use of a function without a prototype (Autoconf issue), as this is obsolescent in ISO C. The new test should be more robust.
