i386 scalb / scalbn / scalbln (and thus ldexp) functions for float and
double can return results with excess range (and consequently excess
precision for subnormal results). As the results of these functions
are fully determined by reference to IEEE 754 operations, this is
unambiguously a bug, apart from the testsuite failures it causes.
This patch makes those functions store their results on the stack and
load them back to eliminate the excess range. Double rounding is not
a problem, as the only cases where it could occur are when the result
overflows or underflows for extended precision, and then the
double-rounded results are the same as the single-rounded results.
The new macros will be used for more functions, more such macros
added, and existing code refactored to use such macros, in subsequent
patches.
Tested for x86. Committed.

As noted in bug 6803, scalbn fails to set errno on overflow and
underflow. This patch fixes this by making scalbn an alias of ldexp,
which has exactly the same semantics (for floating-point types with
radix 2) and already has wrappers that deal with setting errno,
instead of an alias of the internal __scalbn (which ldexp calls).
Notes:
* Where compat symbols were defined for scalbn functions, I didn't
change what they point to (to keep the patch minimal), so such
compat symbols continue to go directly to the non-errno-setting
functions.
* Mike, I didn't do anything with the IA64 versions of these
functions, where I think both the ldexp and scalbn functions already
deal with setting errno. As a cleanup (not needed to fix this bug)
however you might want to make those functions into aliases for
IA64; there is no need for them to be separate function
implementations at all.
* This concludes the fix for bug 6803 since the scalb and scalbln
cases of that bug were fixed some time ago.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

Errno is not set and the testcases will fail.
Now the scalbln-aliases are removed in i386/m68
and the wrappers are used when calling the scalbln-functions.
On ia64 only scalblnf has its own implementation.
For scalbln and scalblnl the ieee754/dbl-64 and ieee754/ldbl-96 are used, thus
the wrappers are needed, too.
