Use bits32 instead of uint32 when manipulating floating point values

I'm not convinced this patch is particularly worthwhile, especially
since
Andreas is working on a patchset which will convert all the bits32
uses back into uint32_t anyway, which is the direction to go if we
want to make the fpu/ code consistent about its type usage.
I don't know in which direction we should go (bits32 or uint32_t), but
we should go for more consistency. When everything is consistent, it's
just a regex to go switch the type.
Please don't introduce new uses of bits*. There's simply no reason to
have such types in a C99 project.
Unfortunately the new year started with hardware failure for me, so I
haven't found the time to continue work on the series yet. I'll send a
rebased v4 shortly, patch 5/7 v3 was broken by a change to softfloat-
specialize.h.
