candq() - normalized significand functions
SYNOPSISDESCRIPTION
The functions compute the significand of a floating point value x,
where:
x = significand * 2^exponent and 1 <= significand < 2
Thus, if x is subnormal, it is treated as though it were normalized
before the significand is determined.

RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns the normalized significand of x.
If x is zero, infinite, or NaN, returns x.
