Further _FloatN / _FloatNx type alias support will involve making
architecture-specific .S files use the common macros for libm function
aliases. Making them use those macros will also serve to simplify
existing code for aliases / symbol versions in various cases, similar
to such simplifications for ldbl-opt code.
The libm-alias-*.h files sometimes need to include <bits/floatn.h> to
determine which aliases they should define. At present, this does not
work for inclusion from .S files because <bits/floatn.h> can define
typedefs for old compilers. This patch changes all the
<bits/floatn.h> and <bits/floatn-common.h> headers to include
__ASSEMBLER__ conditionals. Those conditionals disable everything
related to C syntax in the __ASSEMBLER__ case, not just the problem
typedefs, as that seemed cleanest. The __HAVE_* definitions remain in
the __ASSEMBLER__ case, as those provide information that is required
to define the correct set of aliases.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for a representative set of
configurations (x86_64-linux-gnu i686-linux-gnu ia64-linux-gnu
powerpc64le-linux-gnu mips64-linux-gnu-n64 sparc64-linux-gnu) with GCC
6. Also tested with GCC 6 for i686-linux-gnu in conjunction with
changes to use alias macros in .S files.

to C syntax instead of availability and properties of types.

The bits/floatn.h header currently only has defines relating to
_Float128. This patch adds defines relating to other _FloatN /
_FloatNx types.
The approach taken is to add defines for all _FloatN / _FloatNx types
known to GCC, and to put them in a common bits/floatn-common.h header
included at the end of all the individual bits/floatn.h headers. If
in future some defines become different for different glibc
configurations, they will move out into the separate bits/floatn.h
headers.
Some defines are expected always to be the same across glibc ports.
Corresponding defines are nevertheless put in this header. The intent
is that where there are conditionals (in headers or in non-installed
files) that can just repeat the same or nearly the same logic for each
floating-point type, they should do so, even if in fact the cases for
some types could be unconditionally present or absent because the same
conditionals are true or false for all glibc configurations. This
should make the glibc code with such conditionals easier to read,
because the reader can just see that the same conditionals are
repeated for each type, rather than seeing different conditionals for
different types and needing to reason, at each location with such
differences, why those differences are indeed correct there. (Cases
involving per-format rather than per-type logic are more likely still
to need differences in how they handle different types.)
Having such defines and conditionals also helps in incremental
preparation for adding _Float32 / _Float64 / _Float32x / _Float64x
function aliases. I intend subsequent patches to add such
conditionals corresponding to those already present for _Float128, as
well as making more architecture-specific function implementations use
common macros to define aliases in preparation for adding such _FloatN
/ _FloatNx aliases.

This patch adds a MIPS-specific bits/floatn.h header. This header is
identical to the ldbl-128 version except for the comment at the top;
the purpose is to ensure that a 32-bit MIPS build installs a header
that is the same as in a 64-bit MIPS build and so properly shows
_Float128 support to be available for 64-bit compilations, on the
general principle of an installation for one multilib providing
headers also suitable for other multilibs.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/floatn.h: New file.
Similar to bug 21987 for SPARC, MIPS64 wrongly installs the ldbl-128
version of bits/long-double.h, meaning incorrect results when using
headers installed from a 64-bit installation for a 32-bit build. (I
haven't actually seen this cause build failures before its interaction
with bits/floatn.h did so - installed headers wrongly expecting
_Float128 to be available in a 32-bit configuration.)
This patch fixes the bug by moving the MIPS header to
sysdeps/mips/ieee754, which comes before sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128 in
the sysdeps directory ordering. (bits/floatn.h will need a similar
fix - duplicating the ldbl-128 version for MIPS will suffice - for
headers from a 32-bit installation to be correct for 64-bit builds.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (compilers build for
mips64-linux-gnu, where there was previously a libstdc++ build failure
as at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q4/msg00130.html>).
