Add inlining of the C99 math functions isinf/isnan/signbit/isfinite/isnormal/fpclassify using GCC

built-ins when available. Since going through the PLT is expensive for these small functions,
inlining results in major speedups (about 7x on Cortex-A57 for isinf). The GCC built-ins are not
correct if signalling NaN support is required, and thus are turned off in that case (see GCC bug
66462). The test-snan.c tests sNaNs and so must be explicitly built with -fsignaling-nans.

        [BZ #15367]
        [BZ #17441]

        * math/Makefile: Build test-snan.c with -fsignaling-nans.
        * math/math.h (fpclassify): Use __builtin_fpclassify when
        available.  (signbit): Use __builtin_signbit(f/l).
        (isfinite): Use__builtin_isfinite.  (isnormal): Use
        __builtin_isnormal.  (isnan): Use __builtin_isnan.
        (isinf): Use __builtin_isinf_sign.
