This patch fixes failures in the SingleSource/Regression/C/uint64_to_float
test case on PowerPC caused by rounding errors when converting from a 64-bit
integer to a single-precision floating point. The reason for this are
double-rounding effects, since on PowerPC we have to convert to an
intermediate double-precision value first, which gets rounded to the
final single-precision result.
The patch fixes the problem by preparing the 64-bit integer so that the
first conversion step to double-precision will always be exact, and the
final rounding step will result in the correctly-rounded single-precision
result. The generated code sequence is equivalent to what GCC would generate.
When -enable-unsafe-fp-math is in effect, that extra effort is omitted
and we accept possible rounding errors (just like GCC does as well).
