This adapts std.mathspecial.digamma so that it IEEE 754 way of handling +/-0.0, i.e., it treats them as values that are infinitesimally greater/less than zero. digamma(+0.) == -real.infinty and digamma(-0.) == +real.infinity. See #10802 for more information.

The DDOC and unit tests are also updated.

Even though this is a small change, it results in a change in behavior. This would break any application that relies on digamma(0.) evaluating to real.nan. Therefore, I'm making this PR for the master branch.

The freebsd check timed out when it was nearly finished. Is it possible to rerun the check?
