Replace the ldexp() implementation in libc with a renamed copy of the
scalbn() implementation from libm. (The two functions are defined to
be identical, but ldexp() lives in libc for backwards compatibility.)
The old ldexp() implementation...
- was more complicated than this one
- set errno instead of raising FP exceptions
- got some corner cases wrong
(e.g. ldexp(1.0, 2000) in round-to-zero mode)

The new implementation lives in libc/gen instead of
libc/$MACHINE_ARCH/gen, since we don't need N copies of a
machine-independent file. The amd64 and i386 platforms
retain their fast and correct MD implementations and
override this one.
