Add float128 support for x86_64, x86.
This patch enables float128 support for x86_64 and x86. All GCC
versions that can build glibc provide the required support, but since
GCC 6 and before don't provide __builtin_nanq / __builtin_nansq, sNaN
tests and some tests of NaN payloads need to be disabled with such
compilers (this does not affect the generated glibc binaries at all,
just the tests). bits/floatn.h declares float128 support to be
available for GCC versions that provide the required libgcc support
(4.3 for x86_64, 4.4 for i386 GNU/Linux, 4.5 for i386 GNU/Hurd);
compilation-only support was present some time before then, but not
really useful without the libgcc functions.
fenv_private.h needed updating to avoid trying to put _Float128 values
in registers. I make no assertion of optimality of the
math_opt_barrier / math_force_eval definitions for this case; they are
simply intended to be sufficient to work correctly.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, with GCC 7 and GCC 6. (Testing for x32 was
compilation tests only with build-many-glibcs.py to verify the ABI
baseline updates. I have not done any testing for Hurd, although the
float128 support is enabled there as for GNU/Linux.)
