Rollup merge of #77099 - tspiteri:exp_m1-examples, r=m-ou-se

make exp_m1 and ln_1p examples more representative of use

With this PR, the examples for `exp_m1` would fail if `x.exp() - 1.0` is used instead of `x.exp_m1()`, and the examples for `ln_1p` would fail if `(x + 1.0).ln()` is used instead of `x.ln_1p()`.
