Add narrowing multiply functions.
This patch adds the narrowing multiply functions from TS 18661-1 to
glibc's libm: fmul, fmull, dmull, f32mulf64, f32mulf32x, f32xmulf64
for all configurations; f32mulf64x, f32mulf128, f64mulf64x,
f64mulf128, f32xmulf64x, f32xmulf128, f64xmulf128 for configurations
with _Float64x and _Float128; __nldbl_dmull for ldbl-opt.

The changes are mostly essentially the same as for the narrowing add
functions, so the description of those generally applies to this patch
as well.  f32xmulf64 for i386 cannot use precision control as used for
add and subtract, because that would result in double rounding for
subnormal results, so that uses round-to-odd with long double
intermediate result instead.  The soft-fp support involves adding a
new FP_TRUNC_COOKED since soft-fp multiplication uses cooked inputs
and outputs.

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (all three ABIs, both hard and soft
float) and powerpc, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
