math: fix bad shift in Expm1

Noticed by cmd/vet.

Expected values array produced by Python instead of Keisan because:

1) Keisan's website calculator is painfully difficult to copy/paste
values into and out of, and

2) after tediously computing e^(vf[i] * 10) - 1 via Keisan I
discovered that Keisan computing vf[i]*10 in a higher precision was
giving substantially different output values.

Also, testing uses "close" instead of "veryclose" because 386's
assembly implementation produces values for some of the test cases
that fail "veryclose".  Curiously, Expm1(vf[i]*10) is identical to
Exp(vf[i]*10)-1 on 386, whereas with the portable implementation
they're only "veryclose".

Investigating these questions is left to someone else.  I just wanted
to fix the cmd/vet warning.

Fixes #13101.
