I wasn't sure if this counts as a trivial fix per our rules [1].  The
rules explicitly state that fixing a spelling or grammatical error
counts as a trivial fix, but they do not state anything about typos.
If this commit could be considered a trivial fix, I will also update
the wiki.

In the description of gcvt, add missing closing parenthesis in the
comparison with sprintf.

	* manual/arith.texi (gcvt): Add missing closing parenthesis.

This fix should be considered obvious.
