Added support for the f{maximum,minimum}_{mag,num} families, the newest standard for maximums in magnitude and number-preferring. This includes modifying fmax.3, on top of D56230, to recommend the use of fmaximum_num and fminimum_num.

Event Timeline
Nice submission! I'll find some time in the next days to work on this one. Please note that kargl thinks fmaximum and fminimum should never raise FE_INVALID, so some slight rework is needed (we do return (a+b) which triggers FE_INVALID if a or b are signalling nans). He has also asked that the build scripts be in alphabetic order. I have prepared patches for both which I will land in the next days, you can then rebase your feature based on that.
Great! When I rebase I will also have to fix fmaximum_mag and fminimum_mag to not raise FE_INVALID (I imagine what he said applies to those too). And probably the man pages too. Happy Easter!
Rebased on top of the current main (fmaximum and fminimum). Updated _mag to not throw the invalid exception, adapted tests and man pages to the new changes.
