2847. `sin(float)` should call `sinf(float)`

Discussion:

With P0175R1, we now show in [cmath.syn] three overloads for the sin function: One taking a float, one taking a double, and one taking a long double. However, there is no statement that sin(long double) should actually invoke sinl, presumably delivering extra precision.

An implementation like

inline long double sin(long double x)
{ return sinf(x); }

seems to satisfy the "effectively cast" requirement, but is certainly unintentional.

The same issue arises for all math functions inherited from C.
