Fix power() for large inputs yet more.
Buildfarm results for commit e532b1d57 reveal the error in my thinking
about the unexpected-EDOM case. I'd supposed this was no longer really
a live issue, but it seems the fix for glibc's bug #3866 is not all that
old, and we still have at least one buildfarm animal (lapwing) with the
bug. Hence, resurrect essentially the previous logic (but, I hope, less
opaquely presented), and explain what it is we're really doing here.
Also, blindly try to fix fossa's failure by tweaking the logic that
figures out whether y is an odd integer when x is -inf. This smells
a whole lot like a compiler bug, but I lack access to icc to try to
pin it down. Maybe doing division instead of multiplication will
dodge the issue.
