Subject: fabs
Background: IEEE-754-1985 suggests and IEEE-754-2008 requires fabs(NaN) to affect just the sign bit.
Add to F.9.4.2 the fabs functions a new bullet:
-- fabs(NaN) returns the same NaN with its sign bit set to 0 (positive).
Add to Raionale:
In IEEE-754, fabs() is considered a sign bit operation that affects only the sign bit.
