math: fix ld80 powl(x,huge) and powl(LDBL_MAX,small)
powl used >= LDBL_MAX as infinity check, but LDBL_MAX is finite, so this can cause wrong results e.g. powl(LDBL_MAX, 0.5) returned inf or powl(2, LDBL_MAX) returned inf without raising overflow. huge y values (close to LDBL_MAX) could cause intermediate results to overflow (computing y * log2(x) with more than long double precision) and e.g. powl(0.5, 0x1p16380L) or powl(10, 0x1p16380L) returned nan. this is fixed by handling huge y early since that always overflows or underflows. reported by Paul Zimmermann against expl10 (which uses powl).
