<title>math: Remove the error handling wrapper from fmod and fmodf</title>

The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support.  The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper
with SVID error handling around the new code.  There is no new symbol
version nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets
(e.g. riscv).

The ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation.  For both i686 and m68k,
which provive arch specific implementation, wrappers are added so
no new symbol are added (which would require to change the
implementations).

It shows an small improvement, the results for fmod:

This uses a new algorithm similar to already proposed earlier [1].
With x = mx * 2^ex and y = my * 2^ey (mx, my, ex, ey being integers),
the simplest implementation is:

   mx * 2^ex == 2 * mx * 2^(ex - 1)

   while (ex &gt; ey)
     {
       mx *= 2;
       --ex;
       mx %= my;
     }

With mx/my being mantissa of double floating pointer, on each step the
argument reduction can be improved 8 (which is sizeof of uint32_t minus
MANTISSA_WIDTH plus the signal bit):

   while (ex &gt; ey)
     {
       mx &lt;&lt; 8;
       ex -= 8;
       mx %= my;
     }  */

The implementation uses builtin clz and ctz, along with shifts to
convert hx/hy back to doubles.  Different than the original patch,
this path assume modulo/divide operation is slow, so use multiplication
with invert values.

I see the following performance improvements using fmod benchtests
(result only show the 'mean' result):

  Architecture     | Input           | master   | patch
  -----------------|-----------------|----------|--------
  x86_64 (Ryzen 9) | subnormals      | 17.2549  | 12.0318
  x86_64 (Ryzen 9) | normal          | 85.4096  | 49.9641
  x86_64 (Ryzen 9) | close-exponents | 19.1072  | 15.8224

  aarch64 (N1)     | normal          | 60.0616  | 20.3667
  aarch64 (N1)     | close-exponents | 11.5256  | 8.39685

I also see similar improvements on arm-linux-gnueabihf when running on
the N1 aarch64 chips, where it a lot of soft-fp implementation (for
modulo, and multiplication):

  Architecture     | Input           | master   | patch
  -----------------|-----------------|----------|--------
  armhf (N1)       | subnormal       | 11.6662  | 10.8955

  armhf (N1)       | close-exponents | 13.6472  | 18.2131

Instead of using the math_private.h definitions, I used the
math_config.h instead which is used on newer math implementations.

&lt;tgmath.h&gt; implements semantics for integer generic arguments that
handle cases involving _FloatN / _FloatNx types as specified in TS
18661-3 plus some defect fixes.

C2x has further changes to the semantics for &lt;tgmath.h&gt; macros with
such types, which should also be considered defect fixes (although
handled through the integration of TS 18661-3 in C2x rather than
through an issue tracking process).  Specifically, the rules were
changed because of problems raised with using the macros with the
evaluation format types such as float_t and _Float32_t: the older
version of the rules didn't allow passing _FloatN / _FloatNx types to
the narrowing macros returning float or double, or passing float /
double / long double to the narrowing macros returning _FloatN /
_FloatNx, which was a problem with the evaluation format types which
could be either kind of type depending on the value of
FLT_EVAL_METHOD.

Thus the new rules allow cases of mixing types which were not allowed
before, and, as part of the changes, the handling of integer arguments
was also changed: if there is any _FloatNx generic argument, integer
generic arguments are treated as _Float32x (not double), while the
rule about treating integer arguments to narrowing macros returning
_FloatN or _FloatNx as _Float64 not double was removed (no longer
needed now double is a valid argument to such macros).

I've implemented the changes in GCC's __builtin_tgmath, which thus
requires updates to glibc's test expectations so that the tests
continue to build with GCC 13 (the test is also updated to test the
argument types that weren't allowed before but are now valid under C2x
rules).

Given those test changes, it's then also necessary to fix the
implementations in &lt;tgmath.h&gt; to have appropriate semantics with older
GCC so that the tests pass with GCC versions before GCC 13 as well.
For some cases (non-narrowing macros with two or three generic
arguments; narrowing macros returning _Float32x), the older version of
__builtin_tgmath doesn't correspond sufficiently well to C2x
semantics, so in those cases &lt;tgmath.h&gt; is adjusted to use the older
macro implementation instead of __builtin_tgmath.  The older macro
implementation is itself adjusted to give the desired semantics, with
GCC 7 and later.  (It's not possible to get the right semantics in all
cases for the narrowing macros with GCC 6 and before when the _FloatN
/ _FloatNx names are typedefs rather than distinct types.)

Tested as follows: with the full glibc testsuite for x86_64, GCC 6, 7,
11, 13; with execution of the math/tests for aarch64, arm, powerpc and
powerpc64le, GCC 6, 7, 12 and 13 (powerpc64le only with GCC 12 and
13); with build-many-glibcs.py with GCC 6, 7, 12 and 13.
