Add roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl.
TS 18661-1 defines roundeven functions that round a floating-point
number to the nearest integer, in that floating-point type, with ties
rounding to even (whereas the round functions round ties away from
zero).  As with other such functions, they raise no exceptions apart
from "invalid" for signaling NaNs.  There was a previous user request
for this functionality in glibc in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2015-02/msg00005.html>.

This patch implements these functions for glibc.  The implementations
use integer bit-manipulation (or roundeven on the high and low parts,
in the IBM long double case).  It's possible that there may be faster
approaches on some architectures (in particular, on AArch64 the frintn
instruction should do exactly what's required); I'll leave it to
architecture maintainers or others interested to implement such
architecture-specific versions if desired.  (Where architectures have
instructions to round to nearest integer in the current rounding mode,
implementations saving and restoring the rounding mode - and dealing
with exceptions if those instructions generate "inexact" - are also
possible, though their performance depends on the cost of manipulating
exceptions / rounding mode state.)

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.
