1) State the relative errors of the power functions for integer exponents.
2) _mpd_qpow_mpd(): Abort the loop for all specials, not only infinity.
3) _mpd_qpow_mpd(): Make the function more general and distinguish between
zero clamping and folding down the exponent. The latter case is currently
handled by setting context->clamp to 0 before calling the function.
4) _mpd_qpow_int(): Add one to the work precision in case of a negative
exponent. This is to get the same relative error (0.1 * 10**-prec)
for both positive and negative exponents. The previous relative
error for negative exponents was (0.2 * 10**-prec).
Both errors are _before_ the final rounding to the context precision.
