> FastMath.pow(double, double) and FastMath.pow(double, long) functions never return negative zero.
> Math.pow(-0.0, 5.0) = -0.0
> FastMath.pow(-0.0, 5.0) = 0.0
> Math.pow(-&infin;, -3.0) = -0.0
> FastMath.pow(-&infin;, -3.0) = 0.0
> Added support for negative zero.
> Also, added ultimate tests to cover all special cases described in Math.pow javadoc.
> Slightly edited an existing test: there were some typos and duplicates.
