Added the ability to specify the result values delivered when conversions from floating-point to an integer format raise an invalid exception. For the provided specializations (8086 and RISC-V), changed the result of converting a negative floating-point value to an unsigned integer format to now be zero. (Also renamed `shiftCount' inside functions to `shiftDist'.)

Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat is distributed in the form of C source code. Building the SoftFloat sources generates a library file (typically softfloat.a or libsoftfloat.a) containing the floating-point subroutines.
The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the doc subdirectory:
Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat.
