Author: Ulrich Weigand <ulrich.weigand@de.ibm.com>

    Target FP: Refactor use of host floating-point arithmetic
    
    Prepare for using MPFR to implement floating-point arithmetic by
    refactoring the way host floating-point arithmetic is currently used.
    
    In particular, fix the following two problems that cause different
    (and incorrect) results due to using host arithmetic:
    
    - Current processing always uses host "long double", and then converts
      back to the actual target format.  This may introduce rounding errors.
    
    - Conversion of FP values to LONGEST simply does a host C++ type cast.
      However the result of such a cast is undefined if the source value
      is outside the representable range.  MPFR always has defined behavior
      here (returns the minimum or maximum representable value).
    
    To fix the first issue, I've now created not just one set of routines
    using host FP arithmetic (on long double), but instead three different
    sets of routines, one each for host float, double, and long double.
    Operations can then be performed in the desired type directly, avoiding
    the extra rounding step.  Using C++ templates, the three sets can all
    share the same source code without duplication.
    
    To fix the second issue, I'm simply enforcing the same conversion rule
    (which makes sense anyway) when converting out-of-range values from
    FP to LONGEST.
    
    To contain the code complexity with the variety of options now possible,
    I've created a new class "target_float_ops".  There are a total of five
    separate implementations of this:
    
      host_float_ops<float>        Implemented via host FP in given type
      host_float_ops<double>
      host_float_ops<long double>
      mpfr_float_ops               Implemented via MPFR if available
      decimal_float_ops            Implemented via libdecnumber
    
    Note instead of using the DOUBLEST define, this always just uses the
    "long double" data type.  But since we now require C++11 anyway, this
    type must in any case be avaialble unconditionally.
    
    Most target floating-point operations simply dispatch to a (virtual)
    member routine of this class.  Which implementation to choose is
    determined from the target types involved, and whether they match
    some host type or not.  E.g. any operation on a single type that
    matches a host type is performed in that type.  Operations involving
    two types that both match host types are performed in the larger one
    (according to C/C++ implicit conversion rules).  Operations that
    involve any type that does not match a host type are performed using
    MPFR.  (And of course operations involving decimal FP are performed
    using libdecnumber.)
    
    This first patch implements the refactoring of target-float.c as
    described above, introduing the host_float_ops and decimal_float_ops
    classes, and using them.  Use of MPFR is introduced in the second patch.
    A bit of special-case handling code is moved around to as to avoid
    code duplication between host_float_ops and mpfr_float_ops.
    
    Note that due to the changes mentioned above, I've had to update (fix)
    the floating-point register values tested in the gdb.arch/vsx-regs.exp
    test case.  (The new values now work both with host arithmetic and MPFR.)
