Remove the slow paths from pow. Like several other double precision math functions, pow is exactly rounded. This is not required from math functions and causes major overheads as it requires multiple fallbacks using higher precision arithmetic if a result is close to 0.5ULP. Ridiculous slowdowns of up to 100000x have been reported when the highest precision path triggers. All GLIBC math tests pass on AArch64 and x64 (with ULP of pow set to 1). The worst case error is ~0.506ULP. A simple test over a few hundred million values shows pow is 10% faster on average. This fixes BZ #13932.
