Initial commit of SoftFloat 2a import. This should provide a sensible
mostly-MI floating-point implementation for use by gcc -msoft-float. It's currently only used by arm26, but should be usable by other ports without too much hacking, assuming doubles and u_int64_ts are passed and returned the same way, and FP formats are IEEEish.

+This is a modified version of part of John Hauser's SoftFloat package.
+This version only contains the contents of the "softfloat/bits64"
+directory of the original release, plus some documentation. This
+version has been heavily modified to support its use with GCC to
+implement built-in floating-point operations, but compiling
+softfloat.c without SOFTFLOAT_FOR_GCC defined should get you the same
+results as from the original.
