[libc] Improve the performance of expm1f.

Improve the performance of expm1f:
- Rearrange the selection logic for different cases to improve the overall
throughput.
- Use the same degree-4 polynomial for large inputs as `expf`
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D122418), reduced from a degree-7 polynomial.

Performance benchmark using perf tool from CORE-MATH project
(https://gitlab.inria.fr/core-math/core-math/-/tree/master):
Before this patch:
```
$ ./perf.sh expm1f

CORE-MATH reciprocal throughput   : 15.362
System LIBC reciprocal throughput : 53.288
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 54.572

$ ./perf.sh expm1f --latency

CORE-MATH latency   : 57.759
System LIBC latency : 147.146
LIBC latency        : 118.057
```

After this patch:
```
$ ./perf.sh expm1f

CORE-MATH reciprocal throughput   : 15.359
System LIBC reciprocal throughput : 53.188
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 14.600

$ ./perf.sh expm1f --latency

CORE-MATH latency   : 57.774
System LIBC latency : 147.119
LIBC latency        : 60.280

```
