Remap __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 0 if __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD will effect the definition of float_t and
double_t, currently we'll set __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 when
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1, that means we'll define float_t and double_t
to long double.

However some target isn't natively (HW) support long double like AArch64 and
RISC-V, they defined long double as 128-bits IEEE 754 floating point type.

That means setting __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 will cause very inefficient
code gen for those target who didn't provide native support for long
double, and that's violate the spirit float_t and double_t - most efficient
types at least as wide as float and double.

So this patch propose to remap __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 0 rather than
2 when __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1, which means we'll use float/double
rather than long double for float_t and double_t.

Note: __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ == -1 means the precision is indeterminable,
      which means compiler might using indeterminable precision during
      optimization/code gen, clang will set this value to -1 when fast
      math is enabled.

Note: Default definition float_t and double_t in current glibc:
      |  __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD | float_t     | double_t
      |               0 or 16    | float       | double
      |               1          | double      | doulbe
      |               2          | long double | long double
      More complete list see math/math.h

Note: RISC-V has defined ISA extension to support 128-bits IEEE 754
      floating point operations, but only rare RISC-V core will implement that.
