[2.26 COMMITTED] Do not use __builtin_types_compatible_p in C++ mode (bug 21930)

The logic to define isinf for float128 depends on the availability of
__builtin_types_compatible_p, which is only available in C mode,
however, the conditionals do not check for C or C++ mode.  This lead to
an error in libstdc++ configure, as reported by bug 21930.

This patch adds a conditional for C mode in the definition of isinf for
float128.  No definition is provided in C++ mode, since libstdc++
headers undefine isinf.

Tested for powerpc64le (glibc test suite and libstdc++-v3 configure).

	[BZ #21930]
	* math/math.h (isinf): Check if in C or C++ mode before using
	__builtin_types_compatible_p, since this is a C mode feature.

(cherry picked from commit 47a67213a9f51c5f8816d240500b10db605d8b77)
