Fix exp2 missing underflows (bug 16521).
Various exp2 implementations in glibc can miss underflow exceptions
when the scaling down part of the calculation is exact (or, in the x86
case, when the conversion from extended precision to the target
precision is exact). This patch forces the exception in a similar way
to previous fixes.
The x86 exp2f changes may in fact not be needed for this purpose -
it's likely to be the case that no argument of type float has an exp2
result so close to an exact subnormal float value that it equals that
value when rounded to 64 bits (even taking account of variation
between different x86 implementations). However, they are included
for consistency with the changes to exp2 and so as to fix the exp2f
part of bug 18875 by ensuring that excess range and precision is
removed from underflowing return values.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and mips64.
