[PATCH] Improve lgammaf range for very small cases

The original cut for small arguments at |x|<2**-70 (copied from the
double version) produces that when computing nadj we get a subnormal
number for t*x and thus, the division of pi/subnormal will be INF and
the logarithm of it too, which is wrong as a result for lgammaf in this
range.
The proposed new limit seems to be safe and has been tested to
produce accurate results.
