 Log Message:
 libc: switch aarch64 to use softfloat functions from compiler_rt
 
 The old definitions in qp.c being all grouped together in one file
 causes problems when static linking with libgcc (i.e. cc --static-libgcc)
 due to functions like __trunctfdf2 conflicting with libgcc, as seen in
 PR 57021
 
 We can also add some missing functions like __fixdfti for converting
 a double to an int128_t, the lack of which is currently preventing webkit
 from linking on aarch64, as seen in PR 57022
 
 Unclear to me if libc is the right place for these functions, but
 we can avoid breaking compatibility right now and maintain the status
 quo while avoiding some obvious immediate problems.
 nm output for libc shows no functions being removed by this change.
