libquadmath: Fixes typos in various files

Corrects typos in libquadmath, improving code clarity and reducing potential errors.

This commit fixes typos in various files within libquadmath, specifically in math/powq.c, math/rem_pio2q.c, printf/printf_fp.c, and update-quadmath.py. These corrections enhance code readability and reduce the likelihood of misinterpretations or potential bugs.

In Details

libquadmath provides support for quadruple-precision floating-point arithmetic (float128 / quadmath_t). The affected files include core math functions (powq, rem_pio2q), formatted output (printf_fp), and the build/update script. Typos in these areas could conceivably affect the accuracy or behavior of quadmath operations, but are unlikely.

For Context

libquadmath is a library that provides extended-precision floating-point arithmetic, going beyond the typical double-precision calculations. This commit corrects typos in the source code of libquadmath, enhancing the code's readability and maintainability. While these typos likely didn't cause functional problems, fixing them improves the overall quality of this numerical library.
