LOG: [APFloat] Properly implement DoubleAPFloat::compareAbsoluteValue

The prior implementation would treat X+Y and X-Y as having equal
magnitude.  Rework the implementation to be more resilient.

Added: 
    

Modified: 
    llvm/include/llvm/ADT/APFloat.h
    llvm/lib/Support/APFloat.cpp
    llvm/unittests/ADT/APFloatTest.cpp

Removed:
