C2x semantics for <tgmath.h>

<tgmath.h> implements semantics for integer generic arguments that
handle cases involving _FloatN / _FloatNx types as specified in TS
18661-3 plus some defect fixes.

C2x has further changes to the semantics for <tgmath.h> macros with
such types, which should also be considered defect fixes (although
handled through the integration of TS 18661-3 in C2x rather than
through an issue tracking process).  Specifically, the rules were
changed because of problems raised with using the macros with the
evaluation format types such as float_t and _Float32_t: the older
version of the rules didn't allow passing _FloatN / _FloatNx types to
the narrowing macros returning float or double, or passing float /
double / long double to the narrowing macros returning _FloatN /
_FloatNx, which was a problem with the evaluation format types which
could be either kind of type depending on the value of
FLT_EVAL_METHOD.

Thus the new rules allow cases of mixing types which were not allowed
before, and, as part of the changes, the handling of integer arguments
was also changed: if there is any _FloatNx generic argument, integer
generic arguments are treated as _Float32x (not double), while the
rule about treating integer arguments to narrowing macros returning
_FloatN or _FloatNx as _Float64 not double was removed (no longer
needed now double is a valid argument to such macros).

I've implemented the changes in GCC's __builtin_tgmath, which thus
requires updates to glibc's test expectations so that the tests
continue to build with GCC 13 (the test is also updated to test the
argument types that weren't allowed before but are now valid under C2x
rules).

Given those test changes, it's then also necessary to fix the
implementations in <tgmath.h> to have appropriate semantics with older
GCC so that the tests pass with GCC versions before GCC 13 as well.
For some cases (non-narrowing macros with two or three generic
arguments; narrowing macros returning _Float32x), the older version of
__builtin_tgmath doesn't correspond sufficiently well to C2x
semantics, so in those cases <tgmath.h> is adjusted to use the older
macro implementation instead of __builtin_tgmath.  The older macro
implementation is itself adjusted to give the desired semantics, with
GCC 7 and later.  (It's not possible to get the right semantics in all
cases for the narrowing macros with GCC 6 and before when the _FloatN
/ _FloatNx names are typedefs rather than distinct types.)

Tested as follows: with the full glibc testsuite for x86_64, GCC 6, 7,
11, 13; with execution of the math/tests for aarch64, arm, powerpc and
powerpc64le, GCC 6, 7, 12 and 13 (powerpc64le only with GCC 12 and
13); with build-many-glibcs.py with GCC 6, 7, 12 and 13.
