Fix atan / atan2 missing underflows (bug 15319) [committed].

  This patch fixes bug 15319, missing underflows from atan / atan2 when
the result of atan is very close to its small argument (or that of
atan2 is very close to the ratio of its arguments, which may be an
exact division).

The usual approach of doing an underflowing computation if the
computed result is subnormal is followed.  For 32-bit x86, there are
extra complications: the inline __ieee754_atan2 in bits/mathinline.h
needs to be disabled for float and double because other libm functions
using it generally rely on getting proper underflow exceptions from
it, while the out-of-line functions have to remove excess range and
precision from the underflowing result so as to return an exact 0 in
the case where errno should be set for underflow to 0.  (The failures
I saw without that are similar to those Carlos reported for other
functions, where I haven't seen a response to
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00485.html>
confirming if my diagnosis is correct.  Arguably all libm functions
with float and double returns should remove excess range and
precision, but that's a separate matter.)

The x86_64 long double case reported in a comment in bug 15319 is not
a bug (it's an argument of LDBL_MIN, and x86_64 is an after-rounding
architecture so the correct IEEE result is not to raise underflow in
the given rounding mode, in addition to treating the result as an
exact LDBL_MIN being within the newly clarified documentation of
accuracy goals).  I'm presuming that the fpatan instruction can be
trusted to raise appropriate exceptions when the (long double) result
underflows (after rounding) and so no changes are needed for x86 /
x86_64 long double functions here; empirically this is the case for
the cases covered in the testsuite, on my system.

Tested for x86_64, x86, powerpc and mips64.  Only 32-bit x86 needs
ulps updates (for the changes to inlines meaning some functions no
longer get excess precision from their __ieee754_atan2* calls).
Committed.
