Fix x86/x86_64 expm1l spurious underflow exceptions (bug 16539).
This patch fixes bug 16539, spurious underflow exceptions from x86 /
x86-64 expm1l.  The problem is that the computation of a base-2
exponent with extra precision involves spurious underflows for
arguments that are small but not subnormal, so a check is added to
just return the argument in those cases.  (If the argument *is*
subnormal, underflowing is correct and the existing code will always
underflow, so it suffices to keep using the existing code in that
case; some expm1 implementations have a bug (bug 16353) with missing
underflow exceptions, but I don't think there's such a bug in this
particular version.)

Tested x86_64 and x86; no ulps updates needed.

(auto-libm-test-out diffs omitted below.)

	[BZ #16539]
	* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]: Just
	return the argument for normal arguments with exponent below -64.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]:
	Likewise.
	* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add another test of expm1.
	* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
