Add AArch64 support by using long double with libm - #114

Conversation
Unlike x86-64, on AArch64, `long double` is IEEE binary128 and there is no libquadmath. We can support that architecture in this package by conditionally calling `long double` functions from libm. The only difference in functionality is that the Bessel functions do not have `long double` equivalents. With these changes, all tests pass on FreeBSD AArch64.
