softfloat: Support halving the result of muladd operation

The ARMv8 instruction set includes a fused floating point
reciprocal square root step instruction which demands an
"(x * y + z) / 2" fused operation. Support this by adding
a flag to the softfloat muladd operations which requests
that the result is halved before rounding.

| We also support halving the result before rounding, as a special
