softfloat: use GCC builtins to count the leading zeros

Softfloat has its own implementation to count the leading zeros. However
a lot of architectures have either a dedicated instruction or an
optimized to do that. When using GCC >= 3.4, this patch uses GCC builtins
instead of the handcoded implementation.

Note that I amware that QEMU_GNUC_PREREQ is defined in osdep.h and that
clz32() and clz64() are defined in host-utils.h, but I think it is better
to keep the softfloat implementation self contained.
