This patch continues filling out TS 18661-3 support by adding *f64x
function aliases on platforms with _Float64x support. (It so happens
the set of such platforms is exactly the same as the set of platforms
with _Float128 support, although on x86_64, x86 and ia32 the _Float64x
format is Intel extended rather than binary128.) The API provided
corresponds exactly to that provided for _Float128, mostly coming from
TS 18661-3. As these functions always alias those for another type
(long double, _Float128 or both), __* function names are not provided,
as in other cases of alias types.
Given the preparation done in previous patches, this one just enables
the feature via Makeconfig and bits/floatn.h, adds symbol versions,
and updates documentation and ABI baselines. The symbol versions are
present unconditionally as GLIBC_2.27 in the relevant Versions files,
as it's OK for those to specify versions for functions that may not be
present in some configurations; no additional complexity is needed
unless in future some configuration gains support for this type that
didn't have such support in 2.27. The Makeconfig additions for ia64
and x86 aren't strictly needed, as those configurations also get
float64x-alias-fcts definitions from
sysdeps/ieee754/float128/Makeconfig, but still seem appropriate given
that _Float64x is not _Float128 for those configurations.
A libm-test-ulps update for x86 is included. This is because
bits/mathinline.h does not have _Float64x support added and for two
functions the use of out-of-line functions results in increased ulps
(ifloat64x shares ulps with ildouble / ifloat128 as appropriate).
Given that we'd like generally to eliminate bits/mathinline.h
optimizations, preferring to have such optimizations in GCC instead,
it seems reasonable not to add such support there for new types. GCC
support for _FloatN / _FloatNx built-in functions is limited, but has
been improved in GCC 8, and at some point I hope the full set of libm
built-in functions in GCC, and other optimizations with
per-floating-type aspects, will be enabled for all _FloatN / _FloatNx
types.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py, with both
GCC 6 and GCC 7.

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.

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.
