Series softfloat: alternate conversion of float128_addsub | expand

Commit Message

Rather than compare the fractions before subtracting, do the
subtract and examine the result, possibly negating it.

Looking toward re-using addsub_floats(N**2) for the addition
stage of muladd_floats(N), this will important because of the
longer fraction sizes.
