[PATCH] implementation of expl(3)

I've finally found the last bug in my implementation
of Tang's table-driven algorithm for computing expl(x).
The following code has been tested on i686 and amd64
class hardware, giving the following:

   0n i686-class hardware with fpsetprec(FP_PE).
       Values tested: 2383852701
           Max ULP: 0.506987
  
   On amd64 hardware.
       Values tested: 2383852701
           Max ULP: 0.507022

Tested values are in the range LDBL_MIN_EXP * LN2 <= x
<= LDBL_MAX_EXP * LN2 where x is a float, and to populate
the lower order bits I did x = (x / (long double) M_PI)
* M_PI prior to calls to expl(x).

This code belongs in msun/ld80.  I do not have ld128
hardware, so I haven't tried to produce a e_expl.c
file this precision.

PS: if someone wants the float and double versions of
the table-driven expf() and exp(), I have those implemented
as well with the caveat that exceptional values are tested
via isinf() and isnan().
