Another batch of ieee854 macros and union replacement. These four
files also have bugs fixed with this patch. The fact that the two
doubles in an IBM long double may have different signs means that
negation and absolute value operations can't just twiddle one sign bit
as you can with ieee864 style extended double. fmodl, remainderl,
erfl and erfcl all had errors of this type. erfl also returned +1 for
large magnitude negative input where it should return -1. The hypotl
error is innocuous since the value adjusted twice is only used as a
flag. The e_hypotl.c tests for large "a" and small "b" are mutually
exclusive because we've already exited when x/y > 2**120. That allows
some further small simplifications.
[BZ #15734], [BZ #15735]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_fmodl.c (__ieee754_fmodl): Rewrite
all uses of ieee875 long double macros and unions. Simplify test
for 0.0L. Correct |x|<|y| and |x|=|y| test. Use
ldbl_extract_mantissa value for ix,iy exponents. Properly
normalize after ldbl_extract_mantissa, and don't add hidden bit
already handled. Don't treat low word of ieee854 mantissa like
low word of IBM long double and mask off bit when testing for
zero.

Further replacement of ieee854 macros and unions. These files also
have some optimisations for comparison against 0.0L, infinity and nan.
Since the ABI specifies that the high double of an IBM long double
pair is the value rounded to double, a high double of 0.0 means the
low double must also be 0.0. The ABI also says that infinity and
nan are encoded in the high double, with the low double unspecified.
This means that tests for 0.0L, +/-Infinity and +/-NaN need only check
the high double.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_atan2l.c (__ieee754_atan2l): Rewrite
all uses of ieee854 long double macros and unions. Simplify tests

This is the first of a series of patches to ban ieee854_long_double
and the ieee854_long_double macros when using IBM long double. union
ieee854_long_double just isn't correct for IBM long double, especially
when little-endian, and pretending it is OK has allowed a number of
bugs to remain undetected in sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/.
This changes the few places in generic code that use it.

union ieee854_long_double in fpnum union.

I discovered a number of places where denormals and other corner cases
were being handled wrongly.
- printf_fphex.c: Testing for the low double exponent being zero is
unnecessary. If the difference in exponents is less than 53 then the
high double exponent must be nearing the low end of its range, and the
low double exponent hit rock bottom.
- ldbl2mpn.c: A denormal (ie. exponent of zero) value is treated as
if the exponent was one, so shift mantissa left by one. Code handling
normalisation of the low double mantissa lacked a test for shift count
greater than bits in type being shifted, and lacked anything to handle
the case where the difference in exponents is less than 53 as in
printf_fphex.c.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Same as above, but worse, with
code testing for exponent > 1 for some reason, probably a typo for >= 1.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Round the high double as per
mpn2ldbl.c (hi is odd or explicit mantissas non-zero) so that the
number we return won't change when applying ldbl_canonicalize().
Add missing overflow checks and normalisation of high mantissa.
Correct misleading comment: "The hidden bit of the lo mantissa is
zero" is not always true as can be seen from the code rounding the hi
mantissa. Also by inspection, lzcount can never be less than zero so
remove that test. Lastly, masking bitfields to their widths can be
left to the compiler.
- mpn2ldbl.c: The overflow checks here on rounding of high double were
just plain wrong. Incrementing the exponent must be accompanied by a
shift right of the mantissa to keep the value unchanged. Above notes
for ldbl_insert_mantissa are also relevant.

This patch starts the process of supporting powerpc64 little-endian
long double in glibc. IBM long double is an array of two ieee

the correct way to access fields of the doubles.

The compiler is smart enough to convert those into double for powerpc,
but if we put them as doubles, it adds overhead by performing those
operations in floating point mode.
The mantissa of mp_no is intended to take only integral values. This
is a relatively good choice for powerpc due to its 4 fpus, but not for
other architectures, which suffer due to this choice. This change
makes the default mantissa a long integer and allows powerpc to
override it. Additionally, some operations have been optimized for
integer manipulation, resulting in a significant improvement in
performance.
The patch increase the high value to check if expl overflows. Current
high mark value is not really correct, the algorithm accepts high values.
It also adds a correct wrapper function to check for overflow and underflow.
Using long throughout like powerpc does is beneficial since it reduces
the need to switch to 32-bit instructions. It gives a very minor
performance improvement.
