Joseph Myers 93eb85ceb2 Refactor float_t, double_t information into bits/flt-eval-method.h.
At present, definitions of float_t and double_t are split among many
bits/mathdef.h headers.

For all but three architectures, these types are float and double.
Furthermore, if you assume __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to be defined, that
provides a more generic way of determining the correct values of these
typedefs.  Defining these typedefs more generally based on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ was previously proposed by Paul Eggert in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00002.html>.

This patch refactors things in the way I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>.  A new
header bits/flt-eval-method.h defines a single macro,
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, which is then used by math.h to define
float_t and double_t.  The default is based on __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
(although actually a default to 0 would have the same effect for
current ports, because ports where values other than 0 or 16 are
possible all have their own headers).

To avoid changing the existing semantics in any case, including for
compilers not defining __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__, architecture-specific
files are then added for m68k, s390, x86 which replicate the existing
semantics.  At least with __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ values possible with
GCC, there should be no change to the choices of float_t and double_t
for any supported configuration.

Architecture maintainer notes:

* m68k: sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
  __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 to replicate the existing logic.  But
  actually GCC defines __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 0 if TARGET_68040.  It
  might make sense to make the header prefer to base things on
  __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ if defined, like the x86 version, and so make
  the choices of these types more accurate (with a NEWS entry as for
  the other changes to these types on particular architectures).

* s390: sysdeps/s390/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
  __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 1 to replicate the existing logic.  As
  previously discussed, it might make sense in coordination with GCC
  to eliminate the historic mistake, avoid excess precision in the
  -fexcess-precision=standard case and make the typedefs match (with a
  NEWS entry, again).

Tested for x86-64 and x86.  Also did compilation-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py.
