Currently we hardcode at compile time whether the floatx80 default
Infinity value has the explicit integer bit set or not (x86 sets it;
m68k does not). To be able to compile softfloat once for all targets
we'd like to move this setting to runtime.
Define a new FloatX80Behaviour enum which is a set of flags that
define the target's floatx80 handling. Initially we define just one
flag, for whether the default Infinity has the Integer bit set or
not, but we will expand this in future commits to cover the other
floatx80 target specifics that we currently make compile-time
settings.
Define a new function floatx80_default_inf() which returns the
appropriate default Infinity value of the given sign, and use it in
the code that was previously directly using the compile-time constant
floatx80_infinity_{low,high} values when packing an infinity into a
floatx80.
Since floatx80 is highly unlikely to be supported in any new
architecture, and the existing code is generally written as "default
to like x87, with an ifdef for m68k", we make the default value for
the floatx80 behaviour flags be "what x87 does". This means we only
need to change the m68k target to specify the behaviour flags.
(Other users of floatx80 are the Arm NWFPE emulation, which is
obsolete and probably not actually doing the right thing anyway, and
the PPC xsrqpxp insn. Making the default be "like x87" avoids our
needing to review and test for behaviour changes there.)
We will clean up the remaining uses of the floatx80_infinity global
constant in subsequent commits.
