Remove powerpc32 sqrt wrappers.
This patch removes the powerpc32-specific wrappers for sqrt and sqrtf.

These wrappers, by adding architecture-specific uses of _LIB_VERSION
and __kernel_standard, unnecessarily complicate cleanups of libm error
handling.  They also do not serve a useful optimization purpose.  GCC
knows about sqrt as a built-in function, and can generate direct calls
to a hardware square root instruction, either on its own, in the
-fno-math-errno case, or together with an inline check for the
argument being negative and a call to the out-of-line sqrt function
for error handling only in that case (and has been able to do so for a
long time).  Thus in practice the wrapper will only be called only in
the case of negative arguments, which is not a case it is useful to
optimize for.

Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for powerpc-linux-gnu-power4.
