Remove float8-small-is-zero regression test variant.
Since this was also the variant used as an example in the docs, update the docs to use float4-misrounded-input as an example instead, since that is now the only remaining variant file.

For example: some systems interpret very small floating-point values
|
||||
as zero, rather than reporting an underflow error. This causes a
|
||||
few differences in the <filename>float8</filename> regression test.
|
||||
For example: some systems lack a working <literal>strtof</literal> function,
|
||||
for which our workaround causes rounding errors in the
|
||||
<filename>float4</filename> regression test.
|
||||
Therefore, we provide a variant comparison file,
|
||||
<filename>float8-small-is-zero.out</filename>, which includes
|
||||
<filename>float4-misrounded-input.out</filename>, which includes
|
||||
the results to be expected on these systems. To silence the bogus
|
||||
<quote>failure</quote> message on <systemitem>OpenBSD</systemitem>
|
||||
<quote>failure</quote> message on <systemitem>HP-UX 10</systemitem>
|
||||
platforms, <filename>resultmap</filename> includes:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
float8:out:i.86-.*-openbsd=float8-small-is-zero.out
|
||||
float4:out:hppa.*-hp-hpux10.*=float4-misrounded-input.out
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
which will trigger on any machine where the output of
|
||||
<command>config.guess</command> matches <literal>i.86-.*-openbsd</literal>.
|
||||
Other lines
|
||||
in <filename>resultmap</filename> select the variant comparison file for other

platforms where it's appropriate.
