This patch refactors the *cvt functions implementation in a way that
makes it easier to re-use them for implementing the IEEE long double on
powerpc64le. By splitting the implementation per se in one file
(efgcvt-template.c) and the alias definitions in others (e.g. efgcvt.c),
the new code makes it easier to define new function names, such as
__qecvtieee128.
Tested that installed stripped binaries for powerpc64le and x86_64
remain identical before and after this patch. Also tested for
powerpc64le, x86_64, as well as with the following build-many-glibcs
targets: alpha-linux-gnu, mips-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu-soft,
s390x-linux-gnu, and sparc64-linux-gnu.
