All the above are now implemented, as well as float to float conversions which
I forgot to list.

All tests pass!

I've now implemented all core IEEE 754 operations except for above exceptions
(assuming I didn't forget something).

I still need to finish implementing properly calculating NaN payloads -- since
that's not needed on RISC-V since it always produces canonical NaNs instead of
propagating payloads, the implementation should produce bit-accurate results
for all input cases for RISC-V.

For other architectures, it calculates bit-accurate results for all cases that
don't produce NaNs, when it produces a NaN, it produces the correct kind
(signaling/quiet) of NaN but the NaN payload is not always correct yet.

Working on rsqrt next, then on the python bindings.
