Revert the parts of commits b645bb4885 and 5a6932d51d which are still
in the codebase and under a SoftFloat-2b license.
Reimplement support for architectures where the most significant bit
in the mantissa is 1 for a signaling NaN rather than a quiet NaN,
by adding handling for SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE being set to the functions
which test values for NaN-ness.
This includes restoring the bugfixes lost in the reversion where
some of the float*_is_quiet_nan() functions were returning true
for both signaling and quiet NaNs.
[This is a mechanical squashing together of two separate "revert"
and "reimplement" patches.]
Backports commit 332d5849708d11b835e0b36f4e26e8b36bfb3f5a from qemu
Revert the remaining portions of commits 75d62a5856 and 3430b0be36f
which are under a SoftFloat-2b license, ie the functions
uint64_to_float32() and uint64_to_float64(). (The float64_to_uint64()
and float64_to_uint64_round_to_zero() functions were completely
rewritten in commits fb3ea83aa and 0a87a3107d so can stay.)
Reimplement from scratch the uint64_to_float64() and uint64_to_float32()
conversion functions.

and "reimplement" patches.]
Backports commit 6bb8e0f130bd4aecfe835a0caa94390fa2235fde from qemu
This commit applies the changes to master which correspond to

* taking the SoftFloat-2a release
* mechanically transforming the block comment style
* reapplying Fabrice's original changes from 158142c2c2df
This commit was created by:
diff -u 158142c2c2df import-sf-2a
