math: fix ld80 powl(x,huge) and powl(LDBL_MAX,small)

powl used >= LDBL_MAX as infinity check, but LDBL_MAX is finite, so
this can cause wrong results e.g. powl(LDBL_MAX, 0.5) returned inf
or powl(2, LDBL_MAX) returned inf without raising overflow.

huge y values (close to LDBL_MAX) could cause intermediate results to
overflow (computing y * log2(x) with more than long double precision)
and e.g. powl(0.5, 0x1p16380L) or powl(10, 0x1p16380L) returned nan.
this is fixed by handling huge y early since that always overflows or
underflows.

reported by Paul Zimmermann against expl10 (which uses powl).
