[Bug math/2466] New: Errors in long double (ldbl-128ibm) llrounding functions in glibc-2.4

["sjmunroe at us dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

The implementations of the (IBM double double format) long double
(./ldbld-128ibm/) for llrintl and llroundl, round incorrectly
when the integer portion is contained in th ehigh double, but the fractional
postion is contained in the low double. There are also problems where the input
value approaches __LONG_LONG_MAX__.

Also the IEEE 1003.1 spec states "These functions shall round their argument to
the nearest integer value, rounding according to the current rounding
direction."  So I added tests to libm-test.inc to cover llrint in four rounding
modes (FE_TONEAREST, FE_TOWARDZERO, FE_UPWARD, FE_DOWNWARD) in addition to the
default rounding.
