soft-fp: Support floating-point extensions without quieting sNaNs.
One special case needed in soft-fp to replace the old version in the Linux kernel is extending from a narrower floating-point format to a wider one without quieting signaling NaNs. (This is for arch/powerpc/math-emu/lfs.c, where previously it used the old FP_CONV which didn't do anything special for NaNs, then handled packing specially for NaNs to avoid quieting at packing time, and discarded the exceptions from unpacking.) This patch accordingly refactors FP_EXTEND, creating a separate _FP_EXTEND_CNAN that offers a choice of how NaNs are handled, with FP_EXTEND reimplemented as a wrapper that provides the common case of the IEEE operation that does quiet signaling NaNs and raise exceptions for them. Tested for powerpc (e500) that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. * soft-fp/op-common.h (FP_EXTEND): Rename to _FP_EXTEND_CNAN with extra argument CHECK_NAN. Redefine as wrapper around _FP_EXTEND_CNAN.
