Emilio G. Cota 1b615d4820 hardfloat: implement float32/64 addition and subtraction
Performance results (single and double precision) for fp-bench:

1. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
- before:
add-single: 135.07 MFlops
add-double: 131.60 MFlops
sub-single: 130.04 MFlops
sub-double: 133.01 MFlops
- after:
add-single: 443.04 MFlops
add-double: 301.95 MFlops
sub-single: 411.36 MFlops
sub-double: 293.15 MFlops

2. ARM Aarch64 A57 @ 2.4GHz
- before:
add-single: 44.79 MFlops
add-double: 49.20 MFlops
sub-single: 44.55 MFlops
sub-double: 49.06 MFlops
- after:
add-single: 93.28 MFlops
add-double: 88.27 MFlops
sub-single: 91.47 MFlops
sub-double: 88.27 MFlops

3. IBM POWER8E @ 2.1 GHz
- before:
add-single: 72.59 MFlops
add-double: 72.27 MFlops
sub-single: 75.33 MFlops
sub-double: 70.54 MFlops
- after:
add-single: 112.95 MFlops
add-double: 201.11 MFlops
sub-single: 116.80 MFlops
sub-double: 188.72 MFlops

Note that the IBM and ARM machines benefit from having
HARDFLOAT_2F{32,64}_USE_FP set to 0. Otherwise their performance
can suffer significantly:
- IBM Power8:
add-single: [1] 54.94 vs [0] 116.37 MFlops
add-double: [1] 58.92 vs [0] 201.44 MFlops
- Aarch64 A57:
add-single: [1] 80.72 vs [0] 93.24 MFlops
add-double: [1] 82.10 vs [0] 88.18 MFlops

On the Intel machine, having 2F64 set to 1 pays off, but it
doesn't for 2F32:
- Intel i7-6700K:
add-single: [1] 285.79 vs [0] 426.70 MFlops
add-double: [1] 302.15 vs [0] 278.82 MFlops
