Stop raising OverflowError on underflows reported by libm (errno==ERANGE and

libm result is 0).  Cautiously add a few libm exception test cases:
1. That exp(-huge) returns 0 without exception.
2. That exp(+huge) triggers OverflowError.
3. That sqrt(-1) raises ValueError specifically (apparently under glibc linked
   with -lieee, it was raising OverflowError due to an accident of the way
   mathmodule.c's CHECK() macro happened to deal with Infs and NaNs under gcc).
