New fma_test to verify the intermediate multiply product has full percision.
Add a new fma_test that verifies that:
"The operation fma(x,y,z) computes (x ×y )+z as if with unbounded range and
precision, rounding only once to the destination format"
This implies that for double that the 106 bit result of the multiply be passed
unrounded to the add (53 bit) and then final result found to 53 bits.
