Add fueword(9) and casueword(9) functions. They are like fuword(9)
and casuword(9), but do not mix value read and indication of fault.
I know (or remember) enough assembly to handle x86 and powerpc. For
arm, mips and sparc64, implement fueword() and casueword() as wrappers
around fuword() and casuword(), which means that the functions cannot
distinguish between -1 and fault.
On architectures where fueword() and casueword() are native, implement
fuword() and casuword() using fueword() and casuword(), to reduce
assembly code duplication.
