This change:
- Adds generic implementation of the float -> integer conversion
functions floatXiYf, including support for f80
- Updates the existing implementation of integer -> float conversion
fixXiYf to support f16 and f80
- Fixes the handling of the explicit integer bit in `__trunctfxf2`
- Combines the test cases for fixXfYi/floatXiYf into a single file
- Renames `fmodl` to `fmodq`, since it operates on 128-bit floats
The new implementation for floatXiYf has been benchmarked, and generally
provides equal or better performance versus the current implementations:

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
