This corresponds to the latest status (hasn't changed in 9+
years) from openbsd of ld80/ld128 powl, and source cpowf, cpow,
cpowl (the complex power functions for float complex, double
complex, and long double complex) which are required for C99
compliance and were missing from FreeBSD. Also required for
some numerical codes using complex numbered Hamiltonians.
Thanks to jhb for tracking down the issue with making
weak_reference compile on powerpc.
When asked to review, bde said "I don't like it" - but
provided no actionable feedback or superior implementations.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
It turns out our GCC has quite an interesting bug:
typeof(1.0fi) != float _Complex
typeof((float _Complex)1.0fi) != float _Complex
typeof((float _Complex)1.0i) == float _Complex
In other words: if casting to an equal size, GCC seems to take a
shortcut. By casting down from a double to a float, GCC doesn't take
this shortcut, yielding the proper type.
To prevent foot-shooting, add a _Static_assert() to guarantee that
_Complex_I is always a float _Complex. I'm not going to MFC this part of
the diff.

arguments to the needed type and so the result type depended on the argument
type. Fixing them isn't really worth the effort because GCC emits the same
assembler code with or without them.

to fix the "-nostdinc WARNS=X" breakage caused by broken prototypes
for cabs() and cabsl() in <math.h>.
Reimplemented cabs() and cabsl() using new complex numbers types and
moved prototypes from <math.h> to <complex.h>.
