Add roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl.
TS 18661-1 defines roundeven functions that round a floating-point number to the nearest integer, in that floating-point type, with ties rounding to even (whereas the round functions round ties away from zero). As with other such functions, they raise no exceptions apart from "invalid" for signaling NaNs. There was a previous user request for this functionality in glibc in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2015-02/msg00005.html>. This patch implements these functions for glibc. The implementations use integer bit-manipulation (or roundeven on the high and low parts, in the IBM long double case). It's possible that there may be faster approaches on some architectures (in particular, on AArch64 the frintn instruction should do exactly what's required); I'll leave it to architecture maintainers or others interested to implement such architecture-specific versions if desired. (Where architectures have instructions to round to nearest integer in the current rounding mode, implementations saving and restoring the rounding mode - and dealing with exceptions if those instructions generate "inexact" - are also possible, though their performance depends on the cost of manipulating exceptions / rounding mode state.)
