log10-ieee: Work around test failure on NetBSD 5.1 and Solaris 11.
* m4/log10-ieee.m4: New file. * m4/log10.m4 (gl_FUNC_LOG10): If gl_FUNC_LOG10_IEEE is present, test whether log10 works with a negative argument. Replace it if not. * lib/log10.c (log10): For negative arguments, return NaN. * modules/log10-ieee (Files): Add m4/log10-ieee.m4. (configure.ac): Invoke gl_FUNC_LOG10_IEEE. * doc/posix-functions/log10.texi: Mention the log10-ieee module.
