-----------
Remove the special cases to prevent minus-zero results in float4 and float8
unary minus operators. We weren't attempting to prevent minus zero anywhere
else; in view of our gradual trend to make the float datatypes more IEEE
standard compliant, we should allow minus zero here rather than disallow it
elsewhere.
We don't, however, expect that all platforms will produce minus zero, so
we need to adjust the one affected regression test to allow both results.
Per discussion of bug #4660.
(In passing, clean up a couple other minor infelicities in float.c.)
