Fix remquo spurious overflows (bug 17978).
Various remquo implementations, when computing the last three bits of
the quotient, have spurious overflows when 4 times the second argument
to remquo overflows.  These overflows can in turn cause bad results in
rounding modes where that overflow results in a finite value.  This
patch adds tests to avoid the problem multiplications in cases where
they would overflow, similar to those that control an earlier
multiplication by 8.

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

	[BZ #17978]
	* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/s_remquo.c (__remquo): Do not form
	products 4 * y and 2 * y where those would overflow.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64/s_remquo.c (__remquo):
	Likewise.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/s_remquof.c (__remquof): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/s_remquol.c (__remquol): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_remquol.c (__remquol): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_remquol.c (__remquol): Likewise.
	* math/libm-test.inc (remquo_test_data): Add more tests.
