adjust BigFloat precision for Sys.windows() fma

@JeffreySarnoff
for fma, setprecision(BigFloat,113)

After much consideration and some testing, since we are using MPFR's `fma`, it is appropriate to use 113 bits of precision.  FMA implementations (even on chip) do not really evaluate as if infinite bits of precision were available.
