  -----------
  Check that positive subnormals are not constant-folded to zero

If nvtype is either double, DoubleDouble, or 80-bit extended precision long double, it checks the smallest possible positive value (aka DENORM_MIN).  Else, (IEEE 754 long double or __float128), it checks a subnormal that's larger than DENORM_MIN.  (It could easily be extended to cover DENORM_MIN for all nvtypes.)
