Using "cpysn" just flips the sign bit, but that will generate an
invalid VAX Float for an input value of 0.0, as VAX float formats
do not allow signed zeros.

The following should compile and execute successfully.

procedure test1 is
   XX, YY, ZZ : Long_Float;
begin
   XX := 0.0;
   YY := 1.1;
   ZZ := -XX * YY;

   if ZZ /= 0.0 then
      raise Program_Error;
   end if;
end;

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

        * s-vaflop-vms-alpha.adb (Neg_F): Use subtraction instead of negation
        instruction, as the latter may produce -0.0, which is not a valid VAX
        F float number.
        (Neg_G): Likewise for VAX F float.
