strtod ("nan") returns negative NaN


Hi

I've found that strtod ("nan") returns negative NaN on Cygwin 64 bit.
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-08/msg00168.html

On Linux with glibc, both strtod ("nan")
and strtod ("-nan") return positive NaN.

So I've created the patch that behaves like glibc.
Both strtod ("nan") and strtod ("-nan") return positive NaN.

Sample code:
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void)
{
  printf ("strtof (\"nan\", NULL) = %f\n", strtof ("nan", NULL));
  printf ("strtof (\"-nan\", NULL) = %f\n", strtof ("-nan", NULL));
  printf ("strtod (\"nan\", NULL) = %f\n", strtod ("nan", NULL));
  printf ("strtod (\"-nan\", NULL) = %f\n", strtod ("-nan", NULL));
  printf ("strtold (\"nan\", NULL) = %Lf\n", strtold ("nan", NULL));
  printf ("strtold (\"-nan\", NULL) = %Lf\n", strtold ("-nan", NULL));
}
```

The result of Cygwin (newlib) without my patch:
```
strtof ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtof ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("nan", NULL) = -nan
strtod ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("nan", NULL) = -nan
strtold ("-nan", NULL) = -nan
```

The result of Linux (glibc, Ubuntu 16.04):
```
strtof ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtof ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("-nan", NULL) = nan
```

The result of FreeBSD 10.1 (BSD libc):
```
strtof ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtof ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("-nan", NULL) = nan
```

The result of Cygwin (newlib) with my patch:
```
strtof ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtof ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtod ("-nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("nan", NULL) = nan
strtold ("-nan", NULL) = nan
```

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix strtod ("nan") returns negative NaN

The definition of qNaN for x86_64 and i386 was wrong.
So strtod ("nan") and strtold ("nan") returned negative NaN
instead of positive NaN.

strtof ("nan") returns positive NaN so it does not have this issue.

This commit fixes definition of qNaN for x86_64 and i386.
So strtod ("nan") and strtold ("nan") return positive NaN.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix strtod ("-nan") returns negative NaN

On Linux,
glibc's strtod ("-nan") and strtold ("-nan") return positive NaN.

But, newlib's strtod ("-nan") returns negative NaN
because it inverted the sign with the presence of `-` character.
And, newlib's srtold ("-nan") returns negative NaN
because it set the sign bit with the presence of `-` character.

newlib's strtof ("-nan") returns positive NaN same as Linux glibc's.

This commit removes strtod's NaN sign inversion
and removes strtold's NaN sign bit setting.
So strtod ("-nan") and strtold ("-nan") return positive NaN
same as Linux glibc.
