Hi!
The description in libm test README is quite confusing, because the tests
append to ULPs file instead of overwriting it each time, so there
is no need to move and concat the files together, on the other side
it is needed to remove pre-existing ULPs file before starting the tests.

* math/README.libm-test: Adjust description, since test-* append
to ULPs instead of overwriting it.

This generates a file "ULPs" with all double ULPs in it, ignoring any
previous calculated ULPs.

Now you can rename "NewUlps" to "libm-test-ulps" and move it into
sysdeps.
