softfloat: Fix factor 2 error for scalbn on denormal inputs

If the input to float*_scalbn() is denormal then it represents
a number 0.[mantissabits] * 2^(1-exponentbias) (and the actual
exponent field is all zeroes). This means that when we convert
it to our unpacked encoding the unpacked exponent must be one
greater than for a normal number, which represents
1.[mantissabits] * 2^(e-exponentbias) for an exponent field e.

This meant we were giving answers too small by a factor of 2 for
all denormal inputs.

Note that the float-to-int routines also have this behaviour
of not adjusting the exponent for denormals; however there it is
harmless because denormals will all convert to integer zero anyway.
