Fix i386 exp10 missing underflows (bug 18966).
On i386, the double version of exp10 can miss underflow exceptions if
the result is in the subnormal range for double but the last 11 bits
of the 64-bit extended-precision mantissa happen to be zero.  This
patch forces the exception in a similar way to previous fixes.

As with the exp2 and exp fixes, the exp10f changes may in fact not be
needed to ensure underflow exceptions, but are included for
consistency and to fix the exp10 part of bug 18875 by ensuring that
excess range and precision is removed from underflowing return values.

Tested for x86_64 and x86.

	[BZ #18875]
	[BZ #18966]
	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_exp10.S (dbl_min): New object.
	(MO): New macro.
	(__ieee754_exp10): For small results, force underflow exception
	and remove excess range and precision from return value.
	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_exp10f.S (flt_min): New object.
	(MO): New macro.
	(__ieee754_exp10f): For small results, force underflow exception
	and remove excess range and precision from return value.
	* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of exp10.
	* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
