    Fold __builtin_signbit to nonzero instead of 1.
    
    After Joseph's comment wrt __builtin_signbit, I have been unable to
    convince myself that arbitrarily folding __builtin_signbit () of a
    negative number to 1 is correct.
    
    For example, on the true side of x < -5.0 we know the sign bit is set,
    but on the false side, we know nothing because X may be a NAN.  I
    don't want to put ourselves in a position where the same call to
    __builtin_signbit can return two different things (1 or negative
    whatever), so I'm going to return nonzero which is correct across the
    board until someone can convince me otherwise.
    
    Setting the range to nonzero still allows us to fold conditionals
    checking __fold_builtin, while not actually propagating a 1.  Zero
    propagation still works.
    
    That being said, I still think we should be folding
    __builtin_signbit's of negative numbers to whatever the hardware
    returns, instead of 1/0 like what the front ends do.
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * gimple-range-fold.cc
            (fold_using_range::range_of_builtin_int_call): Fold a set signbit
            in __builtin_signbit to nonzero.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gcc.dg/tree-ssa/vrp-float-signbit-2.c: New test.
