  Log Message:
  -----------
  [libc][math] Improve tanhf performance.

Optimize the core part of `tanhf` implementation that is to compute `e^x`
similar to https://reviews.llvm.org/D133870.  Factor the constants and
polynomial approximation out so that it can be used for `exp10f`

Performance benchmark using perf tool from the CORE-MATH project on Ryzen 1700:
```
$ CORE_MATH_PERF_MODE="rdtsc" ./perf.sh tanhf
GNU libc version: 2.35
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH reciprocal throughput   : 13.377
System LIBC reciprocal throughput : 55.046

BEFORE:
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 75.674
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 33.242    (with `-msse4.2` flag)
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 25.927    (with `-mfma` flag)

AFTER:
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 26.359

LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 14.243    (with `-mfma` flag)

$ CORE_MATH_PERF_MODE="rdtsc" ./perf.sh tanhf --latency
GNU libc version: 2.35
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH latency   : 43.365
