Once upon a time, sparc64 was the only ld128 architecture. However,
both aarch64 and riscv are now such architectures. Many of the
comments about how slow multiplication was on old sparc64 processors
are now no longer true. However, since no evaluation has been done for
aarch64 yet, it's unclear if they are still relevant or not. If not,
the code should be changed. If so, the comments should remove the
uncertainty.

This was open-coded in range reduction for trig and exp functions. Now
there are 3 static inline functions rnint[fl]() that replace open-coded
expressions, and type-generic irint() and i64rint() macros that hide the
complications for efficiently using non-generic irint() and irintl()
functions and casts.
Special details:
ld128/e_rem_pio2l.h needs to use i64rint() since it needs a 46-bit integer
result. Everything else only needs a (less than) 32-bit integer result so
uses irint().
Float and double cases now use float_t and double_t locally instead of
STRICT_ASSIGN() to avoid bugs in extra precision.
On amd64, inline asm is now only used for irint() on long doubles. The SSE
asm for irint() on amd64 only existed because the ifdef tangles made the
correct method of simply casting to int for this case non-obvious.
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.
* ld128/k_expl.h:
. Split out a computational kernel,__k_expl(x, &hi, &lo, &k) from expl(x).
x must be finite and not tiny or huge. The kernel returns hi and lo
values for extra precision and an exponent k for a 2**k scale factor.
. Define additional kernels k_hexpl() and hexpl() that include a 1/2
scaling and are used by the hyperbolic functions.
* ld80/s_expl.c:
* ld128/s_expl.c:
. Use the __k_expl() kernel.

PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the Expm1 function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 18,
211-222 (1992).
Over the last 18-24 months, the code has under gone significant
optimization and testing.
