math: extensive log*.c cleanup

The log, log2 and log10 functions share a lot of code and to a lesser
extent log1p too. A small part of the code was kept separately in
__log1p.h, but since it did not capture much of the common code and
it was inlined anyway, it did not solve the issue properly. Now the
log functions have significant code duplication, which may be resolved
later, until then they need to be modified together.

logl, log10l, log2l, log1pl:
* Fix the sign when the return value should be -inf.
* Remove the volatile hack from log10l (seems unnecessary)

log1p, log1pf:
* Change the handling of small inputs: only |x|<2^-53 is special
  (then it is enough to return x with the usual subnormal handling)
  this fixes the sign of log1p(0) in downward rounding.
* Do not handle the k==0 case specially (other than skipping the
  elaborate argument reduction)
* Do not handle 1+x close to power-of-two specially (this code was
  used rarely, did not give much speed up and the precision wasn't
  better than the general)
* Fix the correction term formula (c=1-(u-x) was used incorrectly
  when x<1 but (double)(x+1)==2, this was not a critical issue)
* Use the exact same method for calculating log(1+f) as in log
  (except in log1p the c correction term is added to the result).

log, logf, log10, log10f, log2, log2f:
* Use double_t and float_t consistently.
* Now the first part of log10 and log2 is identical to log (until the
  return statement, hopefully this makes maintainence easier).
* Most special case formulas were removed (close to power-of-two and
  k==0 cases), they increase the code size without providing precision
  or performance benefits (and obfuscate the code).
  Only x==1 is handled specially so in downward rounding mode the
  sign of zero is correct (the general formula happens to give -0).
* For x==0 instead of -1/0.0 or -two54/0.0, return -1/(x*x) to force
  raising the exception at runtime.
* Arg reduction code is changed (slightly simplified)
* The thresholds for arg reduction to [sqrt(2)/2,sqrt(2)] are now
  consistently the [0x3fe6a09e00000000,0x3ff6a09dffffffff] and the
  [0x3f3504f3,0x3fb504f2] intervals for double and float reductions
  respectively (the exact threshold values are not critical)
* Remove the obsolete comment for the FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 case in log2f
  (The same code is used for all eval methods now, on i386 slightly
  simpler code could be used, but we have asm there anyway)

all:
* Fix signed int arithmetics (using unsigned for bitmanipulation)
* Fix various comments

- * __log1p(f):
- * Return log(1+f) - f for 1+f in ~[sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)].
- *
- * The following describes the overall strategy for computing
- * logarithms in base e.  The argument reduction and adding the final
- * term of the polynomial are done by the caller for increased accuracy
- * when different bases are used.
- *
- * Method :
- *   1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that
- *                      x = 2^k * (1+f),
- *         where  sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .
- *
- *   2. Approximation of log(1+f).
- *      Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
- *               = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,
- *               = 2s + s*R
- *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate
- *      a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error
- *      of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45. In
- *      other words,
- *                      2      4      6      8      10      12      14
- *          R(z) ~ Lg1*s +Lg2*s +Lg3*s +Lg4*s +Lg5*s  +Lg6*s  +Lg7*s
- *      (the values of Lg1 to Lg7 are listed in the program)
- *      and
- *          |      2          14          |     -58.45
- *          | Lg1*s +...+Lg7*s    -  R(z) | <= 2
- *          |                             |
- *      Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
- *      In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log
- *      by
- *              log(1+f) = f - s*(f - R)        (if f is not too large)
- *              log(1+f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)).     (better accuracy)
- *
- *      3. Finally,  log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f).
- *                          = k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo)))
- *         Here ln2 is split into two floating point number:
- *                      ln2_hi + ln2_lo,
- *         where n*ln2_hi is always exact for |n| < 2000.
- *
- * Special cases:
- *      log(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0 (including -INF) ;
- *      log(+INF) is +INF; log(0) is -INF with signal;
- *      log(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.
- *
- * Accuracy:
- *      according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
- *      1 ulp (unit in the last place).
- *
- * Constants:
- * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
- * constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
- * compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
- * to produce the hexadecimal values shown.
