Fix nexttoward overflow in non-default rounding modes (bug 19059).
ISO C requires overflowing results from nexttoward to be the
appropriate infinity independent of the rounding mode, but some
implementations use a rounding-mode-dependent result (this is the same
issue as was fixed for nextafter in bug 16677).  This patch fixes the
problem by making the nexttoward implementations discard the result
from the floating-point computation that forced an overflow exception
and then return the infinity previously computed with integer
arithmetic.

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

	overflowing computation.
