[PATCH v2 3/4] math: Optimize dbl-64 remainder implementation

The commit 34b9f8bc17 provides an optimized fmod implementation; use
the same strategy used for remainderf and implement the double variant
on top of fmod.

I see the following performance improvements using remainder benchtests
(using reciprocal-throughput metric):

Architecture     | Input           |   master |   patch  | Improvemnt
-----------------|-----------------|----------|-----------------------
x86_64           | subnormals      |  72.9820 |  18.9712 |     74.01%
x86_64           | normal          | 548.5450 | 408.5010 |     25.53%
x86_64           | close-exponent  |  29.5334 |  20.7824 |     29.63%
aarch64          | subnormals      |  26.1088 |   8.6760 |     66.77%
aarch64          | normal          | 204.8900 |  201.978 |      1.42%
aarch64          | close-exponent  |  13.8547 |  14.0135 |     -1.15%

The aarch64 used as Neoverse-N1, gcc 15.1.1; while the x86_64 was
a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, gcc 14.3.1.

This implementation also fixes the math/test-double-remainder issues
on alpha.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
