Mark Murray e38f230827 lib/msun: Fix tgammal(3) on IEEE 128-bit platforms
Undo the 80-bit "stub" implementation of the 128-bit long double
tgammal(3) function. The latest (as of Feb 2024) version of the
src/contrib/arm-optimised-routines library includes a standalone,
full 128-bit replacement. This needs a small bit of wrapping to
fit it in, but is otherwise a drop-in replacement.

Testing this is hard, as most maths packages blow up as soon as
their 80-bit floating-point capability is exceeded. With 128-bit
tgammal(), this is easy to do, and this is the range that needs to
be checked the most carefully. Using my copy of Maple, I was able
to check that the output was within a few ULP of the correct answer,
right up to the point of 128-bit over- and underflow. Additionally,
the results are no worse, and indeed better than the 80-bit version.

Steve Kargl sent me his libm testing code, which I used to verify
that the excpetions for certain key values were correct. Tested in
this case were +-Inf, +-NaN, +-1 and +-0.
