Fix powf (close to -1, large) (bug 18647).
The flt-32 implementation of powf wrongly uses x-1 instead of |x|-1 when computing log (x) for the case where |x| is close to 1 and y is large. This patch fixes the logic accordingly. Relevant tests existed for x close to 1, and corresponding tests are added for x close to -1, as well as for some new variant cases. Tested for x86_64 and x86. [BZ #18647] * sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/e_powf.c (__ieee754_powf): For large y and |x| close to 1, use absolute value of x when computing log. * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of pow. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
