Add totalorder, totalorderf, totalorderl.
TS 18661-1 defines totalorder functions implementing the totalOrder
comparison operation from IEEE 754-2008.  This patch implements these
functions for glibc, including the type-generic macro in <tgmath.h>.
(The totalordermag functions will be added in a separate patch.)

The description of the totalOrder operation is complicated.  However,
for IEEE interchange binary formats and the preferred quiet NaN
convention, what that complicated description means is that you
interpret the representation as a sign-magnitude integer (with -0
coming before +0) and do a <= comparison on that interpretation.  For
finite values and infinities the ordering of the sign-magnitude
integers is just the same as the ordering of floating-point values, so
this extends that to all representations.  (Different representations
of the same floating-point value - which includes same quantum in the
decimal case - must still be considered equal by this operation, but
that issue doesn't arise for IEEE interchange binary formats.)  So the
complications are:

* When MIPS quiet NaN conventions are in use, the representation of
  NaNs needs adjusting before making such an integer comparison.  This
  patch does this adjustment only when both arguments are NaNs, as
  there's no need for it if only one is a NaN, and as long as both are
  NaNs you can just flip the relevant bits without any problems from
  this turning a NaN into an infinity.

* For the m68k version of ldbl-96, where the high mantissa bit is
  "don't care" for infinities and NaNs, representations where it
  differs must compare the same.  Note: although the testcase for this
  compiles, I have not actually tested on m68k.

* For ldbl-128ibm, the low part must be ignored when the high part is
  NaN, and low parts of +0 and -0 must be considered the same whatever
  the high part.

The new tests in libm-test.inc are the first tests there specifying
particular payloads for input NaNs.  Separate tests are also added for
the ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm special cases where there are different
representations of the same value that must compare equal (which can't
be covered in libm-test.inc as that only specifies values, not
representations).

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.
