math: use double_t for temporaries to avoid stores on i386
When FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 (only i386 with x87 fp) the excess
precision of an expression must be removed in an assignment.
(gcc needs -fexcess-precision=standard or -std=c99 for this)

This is done by extra load/store instructions which adds code
bloat when lot of temporaries are used and it makes the result
less precise in many cases.
Using double_t and float_t avoids these issues on i386 and
it makes no difference on other archs.

For now only a few functions are modified where the excess
precision is clearly beneficial (mostly polynomial evaluations
with temporaries).
