C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the log2p1 functions (log2(1+x): like log1p, but for
base-2 logarithms).
This illustrates the intended structure of implementations of all
these function families: define them initially with a type-generic
template implementation. If someone wishes to add type-specific
implementations, it is likely such implementations can be both faster
and more accurate than the type-generic one and can then override it
for types for which they are implemented (adding benchmarks would be
desirable in such cases to demonstrate that a new implementation is
indeed faster).
The test inputs are copied from those for log1p. Note that these
changes make gen-auto-libm-tests depend on MPFR 4.2 (or later).
The bulk of the changes are fairly generic for any such new function.
(sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/Makefile only needs changing for those
type-generic templates that use fabs.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
