Summary:  speedup tanh function in libm

Original Submission:  The current code uses sinh/cosh which results in 2 calls 
to exp (each function calls it once) where the other variant (commented out in 
tanh.S) would only need it once. (it would also save 2 calls of inverse and 1 
of ldexp and saves memory by not needing cosh/sinh)

The problem is the other code has a bug. It gives to the ldexp function an 
1-byte-parameter where it should be 2 bytes. (see the 2 lines before the call 
of ldexp.)

Appended is a file which uses this other variant and has this bug fixed. (It 
speedsup  my application which uses tanh extensively about 40%.)
