[COMMITTED] PowerPC: Fix copysignf optimization macro


This patch fixes the __copysignf optimized macro meant to internal libm
usage when used with constant value.  Without the explicit cast to
float, if it is used with const double value (for instance, on
s_casinhf.c) double constants will be used and it may lead to precision
issues in some algorithms.

It fixes the following failures on PPC64/POWER7:
