Use round-to-nearest internally in jn, test with ALL_RM_TEST (bug 18602).
Some existing jn tests, if run in non-default rounding modes, produce
errors above those accepted in glibc, which causes problems for moving
tests of jn to use ALL_RM_TEST. This patch makes jn set rounding
to-nearest internally, as was done for yn some time ago, then computes
the appropriate underflowing value for results that underflowed to
zero in to-nearest, and moves the tests to ALL_RM_TEST. It does
nothing about the general inaccuracy of Bessel function
implementations in glibc, though it should make jn more accurate on
average in non-default rounding modes through reduced error
accumulation. The recomputation of results that underflowed to zero
should as a side-effect fix some cases of bug 16559, where jn just
used an exact zero, but that is *not* the goal of this patch and other
cases of that bug remain unfixed.
(Most of the changes in the patch are reindentation to add new scopes
for SET_RESTORE_ROUND*.)
Tested for x86_64, x86, powerpc and mips64.

* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_jn.c (__ieee754_jn): Set
round-to-nearest internally then recompute results that
underflowed to zero in the original rounding mode.
