Implement IEEE Std 754-2008 NaN encoding wired to the state of the
FCSR.NAN2008 bit. Make the interpretation of the quiet bit in NaN data
as follows:
* in the legacy mode originally defined by the MIPS architecture the
value of 1 denotes an sNaN whereas the value of 0 denotes a qNaN,
* in the 2008 mode introduced with revision 5 of the MIPS architecture
the value of 0 denotes an sNaN whereas the value of 1 denotes a qNaN,
following the definition of the preferred NaN encoding introduced with
IEEE Std 754-2008.
In the 2008 mode, following the requirement of the said standard, quiet
an sNaN where needed by setting the quiet bit to 1 and leaving all the
NaN payload bits unchanged.
Update format conversion operations according to the rules set by IEEE
Std 754-2008 and the MIPS architecture. Specifically:
* propagate NaN payload bits through conversions between floating-point
formats such that as much information as possible is preserved and
specifically a conversion from a narrower format to a wider format and
then back to the original format does not change a qNaN payload in any
way,
* conversions from a floating-point to an integer format where the
source is a NaN, infinity or a value that would convert to an integer
outside the range of the result format produce, under the default
exception handling, the respective values defined by the MIPS
architecture.
In full FPU emulation set the FIR.HAS2008 bit to 1, however do not make
any further FCSR bits writable.

Previously math-emu was using the IEEE-754 constants internally. These
were differing by having the constants for rounding to +/- infinity
switched, so a conversion was necessary. This would be entirely
avoidable if the MIPS constants were used throughout, so get rid of
the bloat.

o Only define variables in the outermost block
o One empty line at most
o Format comments as per CodingStyle
o Update FSF address in licensing term comment
o Spell FPU and MIPS in all capitals.
o Remove ####-type of lines in comments.
o Try to make things a bit most consistent between sp_*.c / dp_*.c files.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
