Merge changes to libm from the past 9 months. This includes improvements
to the Bessel functions and adds the C99 function lgammal.

Explanation by Steve:
jn[f](n,x) for certain ranges of x uses downward recursion to compute
the value of the function. The recursion sequence that is generated is
proportional to the actual desired value, so a normalization step is
taken. This normalization is j0[f](x) divided by the zeroth sequence
member. As Bruce notes, near the zeros of j0[f](x) the computed value
can have giga-ULP inaccuracy. I found for the 1st zero of j0f(x) only
the leading decimal digit is correct. The solution to the issue is
fairly straight forward. The zeros of j0(x) and j1(x) never coincide,
so as j0(x) approaches a zero, the normalization constant switches to
j1[f](x) divided by the 2nd sequence member. The expectation is that
j1[f](x) is a more accurately computed value.

- float ynf(int n, float x) /* wrapper ynf */
+float
+ynf(int n, float x) /* wrapper ynf */
This is because the __STDC__ stuff was indented.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

First part of update to fdlibm 5.2: fix jn(n, x) and jnf(n, x).
jn(-1, x) was too large by a factor of 3.

-- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin:
The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions
of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do
all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance)
much on the i386, but they are still nice to have.
The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when
fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems.
I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already
fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was
done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my
libm.
