Improve tgamma accuracy (bug 18613).

In non-default rounding modes, tgamma can be slightly less accurate
than permitted by glibc's accuracy goals.

Part of the problem is error accumulation, addressed in this patch by
setting round-to-nearest for internal computations.  However, there
was also a bug in the code dealing with computing pow (x + n, x + n)
where x + n is not exactly representable, providing another source of
error even in round-to-nearest mode; it was necessary to address both
bugs to get errors for all testcases within glibc's accuracy goals.
Given this second fix, accuracy in round-to-nearest mode is also
improved (hence regeneration of ulps for tgamma should be from scratch
- truncate libm-test-ulps or at least remove existing tgamma entries -
so that the expected ulps can be reduced).

Some additional complications also arose.  Certain tgamma tests should
strictly, according to IEEE semantics, overflow or not depending on
the rounding mode; this is beyond the scope of glibc's accuracy goals
for any function without exactly-determined results, but
gen-auto-libm-tests doesn't handle being lax there as it does for
underflow.  (libm-test.inc also doesn't handle being lax about whether
the result in cases very close to the overflow threshold is infinity
or a finite value close to overflow, but that doesn't cause problems
in this case though I've seen it cause problems with random test
generation for some functions.)  Thus, spurious-overflow markings,
with a comment, are added to auto-libm-test-in (no bug in Bugzilla
because the issue is with the testsuite, not a user-visible bug in
glibc).  And on x86, after the patch I saw ERANGE issues as previously
reported by Carlos (see my commentary in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00485.html>), which
needed addressing by ensuring excess range and precision were
eliminated at various points if FLT_EVAL_METHOD != 0.

I also noticed and fixed a cosmetic issue where 1.0f was used in long
double functions and should have been 1.0L.

This completes the move of all functions to testing in all rounding
modes with ALL_RM_TEST, so gen-libm-have-vector-test.sh is updated to
remove the workaround for some functions not using ALL_RM_TEST.

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.
