[libre-riscv-dev] div/mod algorithm written in python

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

forgot to add an FPNumBaseRecord (the result).  z will be used (back
in FPDivStage0Mod) to carry the sign and exponent right the way
through the DivPipe* pipeline.  not DivPipeCore* pipeline classes,
because those handle the *mantissa*.  DivPipeBaseData, by having an
FPNumBaseRecord, carries the sign and exponent (and the member
variable "m" gets ignored).

it's... okay.  z.m, by never being used, should get optimised out.
