Szabolcs Nagy cbe50607fb Fix code style and comments of new math code
Synchronize code style and comments with Arm Optimized Routines, there
are no code changes in this patch.  This ensures different projects using
the same code have consistent code style so bug fix patches can be applied
more easily.

Szabolcs Nagy e5791079c6 New log implementation
The new implementations are provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, it uses
ISO C99 code.  With default settings the worst case error in nearest
rounding mode is 0.519 ULP with inlined fma and fma contraction.  It uses
a 2 KB lookup table, on aarch64 .text+.rodata size of libm.a is increased
by 1703 bytes.  The w_log.c wrapper is disabled since error handling is
inline in the new code.

New __HAVE_FAST_FMA and __HAVE_FAST_FMA_DEFAULT feature macros were
added to enable selecting between the code path that uses fma and the
one that does not.  Targets supposed to set __HAVE_FAST_FMA_DEFAULT
if they have single instruction fma and the compiler can actually
inline it (gcc has __FP_FAST_FMA macro but that does not guarantee
inlining with -fno-builtin-fma).

Improvements on Cortex-A72:
latency: 1.9x
thruput: 2.3x
