fix rint.c and rintf.c when FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0
The old code used the rounding idiom incorrectly:

  y = (double)(x + 0x1p52) - 0x1p52;

the cast is useless if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==0 and causes a second rounding
if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==2 which can give incorrect result in nearest rounding
mode, so the correct idiom is to add/sub a power-of-2 according to the
characteristics of double_t.

This did not cause actual bug because only i386 is affected where rint
is implemented in asm.

Other rounding functions use a similar idiom, but they give correct
results because they only rely on getting a neighboring integer result
and the rounding direction is fixed up separately independently of the
current rounding mode. However they should be fixed to use the idiom
correctly too.
