hardfloat: implement float32/64 comparison

Performance results for fp-bench:

Host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
- before:
cmp-single: 110.98 MFlops
cmp-double: 107.12 MFlops
- after:
cmp-single: 506.28 MFlops
cmp-double: 524.77 MFlops

Note that flattening both eq and eq_signaling versions
would give us extra performance (695v506, 615v524 Mflops
for single/double, respectively) but this would emit two
essentially identical functions for each eq/signaling pair,
which is a waste.

Aggregate performance improvement for the last few patches:
