Add iszero.
TS 18661-1 adds an iszero classification macro to <math.h>. This patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify when sNaN support is required and a direct comparison otherwise; any optimizations for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_iszero in GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (iszero): New macro. * math/libm-test.inc (iszero_test_data): New array. (iszero_test): New function. (main): Call iszero_test. * manual/arith.texi (Floating Point Classes): Document iszero. * manual/libm-err-tab.pl: Update comment on interfaces without ulps tabulated.
