Also update comments for which architectures use 128 bit long doubles,
as appropriate.
The softfloat specialization routines weren't updated since they
appear to be from an upstream source which we may want to update in
the future to get a more favorable license.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
since it is using type punning of union members, and clang does not yet
support gcc's extensions which allow this (refer to
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Type%2dpunning
for more information).
This should fix strtod(3) return values for the lang/julia port, so it
does not fail on an assertion during its build.

This reduces build output, need for recalculating paths, and makes it clearer
which paths are relative to what areas in the source tree. The change in
performance over a locally mounted UFS filesystem was negligible in my testing,
but this may more positively impact other filesystems like NFS.
LIBC_SRCTOP was left alone so Juniper (and other users) can continue to
manipulate lib/libc/Makefile (and other Makefile.inc's under lib/libc) as
include Makefiles with custom options.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the
file to be out of date if /bin/sh or /bin/ln are newer than the source
file. There's no reason for meta mode to do this as make is already
handling the rebuild dependency fine.

A typical use-case is to build a standard ILP32 version and a COMPAT32
version in a single iteration by building the COMPAT32 version using a
reach-over makefile.

1. Previously, printing the number 1.0 could produce 0x1p+0, 0x2p-1,
0x4p-2, or 0x8p-3, depending on what happened to be convenient. This
meant that printing a value as a double and printing the same value
as a long double could produce different (but equivalent) results.
The change is to always make the leading digit a 1, unless the
number is 0. This solves the aforementioned problem and has
several other advantages.
2. Use the FPU to do rounding. This is far simpler and more portable
than manipulating the bits, and it fixes an obsure round-to-even
bug. It also raises the exceptions now required by IEEE 754R.
The drawbacks are that it is usually slightly slower, and it makes
printf less effective as a debugging tool when the FPU is hosed
(e.g., due to a buggy softfloat implementation).
3. On i386, twiddle the rounding precision so that (2) works properly
for long doubles.
4. Make several simplifications that are now possible due to (2).
5. Split __hldtoa() into a separate file.
Thanks to remko for access to a sparc64 box for testing.
Note that ULong in this code is actually defined as an unsigned integer across
all arches so that the gdtoa() function always processes 32 bit data
despite the unfortunate naming of "ULong".
this is used by some 3rd party applications when {e,f,g}cvt() are
not found. POSIX defines the xcvt() funtions but says they are
deprecated in favor or sprintf(). We'll import these functions
from OpenBSD and remove __gdtoa() from the exported interfaces
when libc version is bumped.
instead use the FPU to convert subnormals to normals. (NB: Further
simplification is possible, such as using the FPU for the rounding
step.)
This fixes a bug reported by stefanf where long double subnormals in
the Intel 80-bit format would be output with one fewer digit than
necessary when the default precision was used.

package, a more recent, generalized set of routines. Among the
changes:
- Declare strtof() and strtold() in stdlib.h.
- Add glue to libc to support these routines for all kinds
of ``long double''.
- Update printf() to reflect the fact that dtoa works slightly
differently now.
As soon as I see that nothing has blown up, I will kill
src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtod.c. Soon printf() will be able
to use the new routines to output long doubles without loss
of precision, but numerous bugs in the existing code must
be addressed first.
