According to ISO C23 (7.6.4.4), fesetexcept is supposed to set
floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike
feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept
was called with the appropriate argument).
The flags can be set in the 387 unit or in the SSE unit. When we need
to clear a flag, we need to do so in both units, due to the way
fetestexcept is implemented.
When we need to set a flag, it is sufficient to do it in the SSE unit,
because that is guaranteed to not trap. However, on i386 CPUs that have
only a 387 unit, set the flags in the 387, as long as this cannot trap.

floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike
feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept was

This is a side-effect of how we implement the GNU extension
feenableexcept, where feenableexcept/fesetenv/fesetmode/feupdateenv
might issue prctl (PR_SET_FPEXC, PR_FP_EXC_PRECISE) depending of the
argument. And on PR_FP_EXC_PRECISE, setting a floating-point exception
flag triggers a trap.
To make the both functions follow the C23, fesetexcept and
fesetexceptflag now fail if the argument may trigger a trap.
The math tests now check for an value different than 0, instead
of bail out as unsupported for EXCEPTION_SET_FORCES_TRAP.
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

I used these shell commands:

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

I noticed that there was no meaningful test coverage for
fegetexceptflag and fesetexceptflag (one test ensures that calls to
them compile and link, but nothing to verify they work correctly).
This patch adds tests for these functions.
fesetexceptflag is meant to set the relevant exception flag bits to
the saved state without causing enabled traps to be taken. On some
architectures, it is not possible to set exception flag bits without
causing enabled traps to occur. Such architectures need to define
EXCEPTION_SET_FORCES_TRAP to 1 in their math-tests.h, as is done in
this patch for powerpc. x86 avoids needing to define this because the
traps resulting from setting exception bits don't occur until the next
floating-point operation or fwait instruction.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc. Note that test-fexcept fails for
powerpc because of a pre-existing bug in fesetexceptflag for powerpc,
which I'll fix separately.
