As in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86113 for
__builtin_nan, bits/mathcalls.h wrongly declares the nan function with
the __const__ attribute.  Because the function reads memory pointed to
by an argument, it's only pure, not const.  This patch removes the
incorrect attribute and adds a testcase for the bug.  No __pure__
attribute is added to replace the incorrect __const__ one, since that
would introduce problems when using GCC versions that have the
incorrect built-in __const__ attribute and warn for the combination of
those two attributes.

Tested for x86_64.  Committed.

	[BZ #23277]
	* math/bits/mathcalls.h [__USE_ISOC99] (nan): Do not use __const__
	attribute.
	* math/test-nan-const.c: New file.
	* math/Makefile (tests): Add test-nan-const.
	(CFLAGS-test-nan-const.c): New variable.

By the way, there's TEST_COMPARE_BLOB now, which can simplify
debugging of test failures because the failure message includes the
blobs that differ.

In this case, the requirement is actually that the blobs must differ, with 
a failure if they are the same (if the compiler optimized out the second 
nanf call and so produced the same NaN for both calls).

Oh, right.  I was confused.
