[PATCH v3] sysdeps/ieee754: Fix remainder sign of zero for FE_DOWNWARD (BZ #32711)

Single-precision remainderf() and quad-precision remainderl()
implementation derived from Sun is affected by an issue when the result
is +-0. IEEE754 requires that if remainder(x, y) = 0, its sign shall be
that of x regardless of the rounding direction.

The implementation seems to have assumed that x - x = +0 in all
rounding modes, which is not the case. When rounding direction is
roundTowardNegative the sign of an exact zero sum (or difference) is −0.

Regression tests that triggered this erroneous behavior are added to
math/libm-test-remainder.inc.

Tested for cross riscv64 and powerpc.

Original fix by: Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org> in FreeBSD's
a2ddfa5ea726c56dbf825763ad371c261b89b7c7.
---
Changes since v2:
- Use XFAIL_ROUNDING_IBM128_LIBGCC for the added test cases.

Changes since v1:
- Apply identical fix for incorrect sign to ieee754/ldbl-128/e_remainderl.c
- Change the check for -0 in ieee754/flt-32/e_remainderf.c
- Only enable new test cases for binary{32,64,128} formats
