Replace usage of `std::numeric_limits<...>::min/max_exponent` in
codebase where possible. Also replaced some other `numeric_limits`
usages in affected tests with the `NumTraits` equivalent.
The previous MR !443 failed for c++03 due to lack of `constexpr`.
Because of this, we need to keep around the `std::numeric_limits`
version in enum expressions until the switch to c++11.
Fixes#2148

Fixes#2148
- AlignedBit flag is deprecated. Alignment is now specified by the evaluator through the 'Alignment' enum, e.g., evaluator<Xpr>::Alignment. Its value is in Bytes.
- Add several enums to specify alignment: Aligned8, Aligned16, Aligned32, Aligned64, Aligned128. AlignedMax corresponds to EIGEN_MAX_ALIGN_BYTES. Such enums are used to define the above Alignment value, and as the 'Options' template parameter of Map<> and Ref<>.
- The Aligned enum is now deprecated. It is now an alias for Aligned16.
- Currently, traits<Matrix<>>, traits<Array<>>, traits<Ref<>>, traits<Map<>>, and traits<Block<>> also expose the Alignment enum.
- remove most of the metaprogramming kung fu in MathFunctions.h (only keep functions that differs from the std)
- remove the overloads for array expression that were in the std namespace
sizeof(Scalar), and that assumption breaks with double on linux x86-32.
* Rename ei_alignmentOffset to ei_first_aligned
* Rewrite its documentation and part of its body
* The variant taking a MatrixBase doesn't need a separate size argument.
because thanks to the previous commit this is not needed anymore
* add a more general ForceAlignedAccess expression which can be used for any expression.
It is already used by StableNorm.h.
* add a new Eigen2Support module including Cwise, Flagged, and some other deprecated stuff
* add a few cwiseXxx functions
* adapt a few modules to use cwiseXxx instead of the .cwise() prefix
is aligned or not. This is done using the Aligned constant:
Map<MatrixType,Aligned>::Map(data);
* rename ForceAligned to EnforceAlignedAccess, and update its doc,
and emphasize this is mainly an internal stuff.
