The ldbl-128ibm implementation of nextafterl / nexttowardl returns -0
in FE_DOWNWARD mode when taking the next value below the least
positive subnormal, when it should return +0.  This patch fixes it to
check explicitly for this case.

Tested for powerpc.  Committed.

	* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nextafterl.c (__nextafterl):
	Ensure +0.0 is returned when taking the next value below the least
	positive value.
