BZ #15536: Fix ulp for 128-bit IBM long double.

Browse Source 
In 128-bit IBM long double the precision of the type
decreases as you approach subnormal numbers, equaling
that of a double for subnormal numbers. Therefore
adjust the computation in ulp to use 2^(MIN_EXP - MANT_DIG)
which is correct for FP_SUBNORMAL for all types.

[BZ #15536]
* math/libm-test.inc (MAX_EXP): Remove
(MIN_EXP): Define.
(ulp): Use MIN_EXP - MANT_DIG.
(check_ulp): Verify subnormal ulps. Only allow a range of +/- 1 ulp.
