[PATCH][newlib][ARM] Add arm directory to libm, use vrint for standard rounding functions

["Kyrylo Tkachov" <kyrylo dot tkachov at arm dot com>]

Hi all,

This patch adds ARM-specific support for the single and double precision
libm functions: ceil, floor, nearbyint, rint, round, trunk.
These functions can be implemented using the vrint family of instructions
introduced in ARMv8 so we use those when the target supports it, otherwise
we revert to the generic implementations.
If approved, can the commiter please generate/regenerate the appropriate
files?
An arm directory is added to libm/machine. The following files need to be
generated with autoconf/automake:
* libm/machine/arm/Makefile.in
* libm/machine/arm/aclocal.m4
* libm/machine/arm/configure

The file
* libm/machine/configure needs to be regenerated.

The patch has been tested with an arm-eabi toolchain running on a model. It
is for the AArch32 / ARM backend of newlib.

Thanks,
Kyrill
