Subject: f128 aliases for long double math symbols

Hello all,

On platforms where `long double` is `_Float128`, glibc provides
aliases of math symbols. For example, on aarch64 `sinl` and `sinf128`
refer to the same function.

Would the same be welcome in musl? The advantage this provides is
certainty that the correct symbol is linked for `_Float128` operations
without knowledge of what the platform `long double` is configured to
(e.g. the ongoing PowerPC double-double to IEEE128 migration).

Best regards,
Trevor
