Optimize the fast paths (x < y) and (x/y < 2^12). Delay handling of special
cases to reduce the number of instructions executed before the fast paths.

The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support. The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper
with SVID error handling around the new code. There is no new symbol
version nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets
(e.g. riscv).
The ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation. For both i686 and m68k,
which provive arch specific implementation, wrappers are added so
no new symbol are added (which would require to change the
implementations).
It shows an small improvement, the results for fmod:

This uses a new algorithm similar to already proposed earlier [1].
With x = mx * 2^ex and y = my * 2^ey (mx, my, ex, ey being integers),
the simplest implementation is:
mx * 2^ex == 2 * mx * 2^(ex - 1)
while (ex > ey)
{
mx *= 2;
--ex;
mx %= my;
}
With mx/my being mantissa of double floating pointer, on each step the
argument reduction can be improved 8 (which is sizeof of uint32_t minus
MANTISSA_WIDTH plus the signal bit):
while (ex > ey)
{
mx << 8;
ex -= 8;
mx %= my;
} */
The implementation uses builtin clz and ctz, along with shifts to
convert hx/hy back to doubles. Different than the original patch,
this path assume modulo/divide operation is slow, so use multiplication
with invert values.
I see the following performance improvements using fmod benchtests
(result only show the 'mean' result):

x86_64 (Ryzen 9) | subnormals | 17.2549 | 12.0318

I also see similar improvements on arm-linux-gnueabihf when running on
the N1 aarch64 chips, where it a lot of soft-fp implementation (for
modulo, and multiplication):
Architecture | Input | master | patch

Instead of using the math_private.h definitions, I used the
math_config.h instead which is used on newer math implementations.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

This patch adds a new macro, libm_alias_finite, to define all _finite
symbol. It sets all _finite symbol as compat symbol based on its first
version (obtained from the definition at built generated first-versions.h).
The <fn>f128_finite symbols were introduced in GLIBC 2.26 and so need
special treatment in code that is shared between long double and float128.
It is done by adding a list, similar to internal symbol redifinition,
on sysdeps/ieee754/float128/float128_private.h.
Alpha also needs some tricky changes to ensure we still emit 2 compat
symbols for sqrt(f).
Passes buildmanyglibc.
