    Remove float compare option from sincosf
    
    PREFER_FLOAT_COMPARISON setting was not correct as it could raise
    spurious exceptions.  Fixing it is easy: just use ISLESS(x, y) instead
    of abstop12(x) < abstop12(y) with appropriate non-signaling definition
    for ISLESS.  However it seems this setting is not very useful (there is
    only minor performance difference on various architectures), so remove
    this option for now.
