fma.3: Add some source code comments explaining two domain error cases.
Two of the "domain error" cases described on this page are treated in
the same way on Linux, but POSIX.1 specifies some optional differences
for the two cases. Make life easier for future page reviewers/editors
by adding some comments explaining that POSIX.1-2001 distinguishes
the two cases.
