The current approach tracks math maximum supported errors by explicitly
setting them per function and architecture. On newer implementations or
new compiler versions, the file is updated with newer values if it
shows higher results. The idea is to track the maximum known error, to
update the manual with the obtained values.

The constant libm-test-ulps shows little value, where it is usually a
mechanical change done by the maintainer, for past releases it is
usually ignored whether the ulp change resulted from a compiler
regression, and the math tests already have a maximum ulp error that
triggers a regression.

It was shown by a recent update after the new acosf [1] implementation
that is correctly rounded, where the libm-test-ulps was indeed from a
compiler issue.

This patch removes all arch-specific libm-test-ulps, adds system generic
libm-test-ulps where applicable, and changes its semantics. The generic
files now track specific implementation constraints, like if it is
expected to be correctly rounded, or if the system-specific has
different error expectations.

Now multiple libm-test-ulps can be defined, and system-specific
overrides generic implementation.  This is for the case where
arch-specific implementation might show worse precision than generic
implementation, for instance, the cbrtf on i686.

Regressions are only reported if the implementation shows larger errors
than 9 ulps (13 for IBM long double) unless it is overridden by
libm-test-ulps and the maximum error is not printed at the end of tests.
The regen-ulps rule is also removed since it does not make sense to
update the libm-test-ulps automatically.

The manual error table is also removed, Paul Zimmermann and others have
been tracking libm precision with a more comprehensive analysis for some
releases; so link to his work instead.

More routines are to follow, some of which hit many failures in the
current testsuite due to wrong sign of zero (mathvec routines are not
required to get this right). Instead of disabling a large number of
tests, change the failure condition such that, for vector routines,
tests pass as long as computed == expected == 0.0, regardless of sign.

Affected tests (vector tests for expm1, log1p, sin, tan and tanh) all
still pass.

Add start and end indicators that identify the test being run in the
verbose output.  Better identify the tests for max errors in the
summary output.  Count each exception checked for each test. Remove
double counting of tests for the check_<type> functions other than
check_float_internal. Rename print_max_error and
print_complex_max_error to check_max_error and check_complex_max_error
respectively since they have side effects.

Allow the libm-test-driver based tests to have their verbosity set based
on the GLIBC_TEST_LIBM_VERBOSE environment variable.  This allows the entire
testsuite to be run with a non-default verbosity.

While here check the conversion for the verbose option as well.

I used these shell commands:

and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
