Fix atanf spurious underflows (bug 18196).
The sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 version of atanf produces spurious
underflow exceptions for some large arguments, because of computations
that compute x^-4.  This patch fixes this by adjusting the threshold
for large arguments (for which +/- pi/2 can just be returned, the
correct result being roughly +/- pi/2 - 1/x) from 2^34 to 2^25.

Tested for x86_64 and x86.

	[BZ #18196]
	* sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/s_atanf.c (__atanf): Use 2^25 not 2^34 as
	threshold for large arguments.
	* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add another test of atan.
	* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
