math-emu: Fix signalling of underflow and inexact while packing result.

Browse Source 
I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits.

In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are
doing.  For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has
a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve
(plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized).

Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and
inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double
precision divide:

000.FFFFFFFFFFFFF / 3FE.FFFFFFFFFFFFE
	soft: 001.0000000000000 .....  syst: 001.0000000000000 ...ux

What it looks like is the results out of FP_DIV_D are:

D:
sign:	  0
mantissa: 01000000 00000000
exp:	 -1023 (0)

The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp.

Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with
the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit
405849610f):

[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.

    2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
       we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
       should set inexact too
...

    Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
    inexact and underflow.  The cpu implementations and ieee1754
    literature is very clear about this.  This is case #2 above.

Here is the distilled glibc test case from Jakub Jelinek which prompted that
commit:

--------------------
#include <float.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdio.h>

volatile double d = DBL_MIN;
volatile double e = 0x0.0000000000001p-1022;
volatile double f = 16.0;
int
main (void)
{
  printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW));
  d /= f;
  printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW));
  e /= f;
  printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW));
  return 0;
}
--------------------

It looks like the case I have we are exact before rounding, but think it
looks like the rounding case since it appears as if "overflow is set".

000.FFFFFFFFFFFFF / 3FE.FFFFFFFFFFFFE = 001.0000000000000

I think the following adds the check for my case and still works for the
issue your commit was trying to resolve.
