Add _Float64, _Float32x function aliases.
This patch continues filling out TS 18661-3 support by adding *f64 and *f32x function aliases, supporting _Float64 and _Float32x, as aliases for double functions. These types are supported for all glibc configurations. The API corresponds exactly to that for _Float128 and _Float64x. _Float32 aliases to float functions remain to be added in subsequent patches to complete this process (then there are a few miscellaneous functions in TS 18661-3 to implement that aren't simply versions of existing functions for new types). The patch enables the feature in bits/floatn-common.h, adds symbol versions and documentation with updates to ABI baselines, and arranges for the libm functions for the new types to be tested. As with the _Float64x changes there are some x86 ulps updates because of header inlines not used for the new types (and one other change to the non-multiarch libm-test-ulps, which I suppose comes from using a different compiler version / configuration from when it was last regenerated). Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py, with both GCC 6 and GCC 7. * bits/floatn-common.h (__HAVE_FLOAT64): Define to 1.
