trans: Call fmod manually for 32-bit float rem

Currently `f32 % f32` will generate a link error on 32-bit MSVC because LLVM
will lower the operation to a call to the nonexistent function `fmodf`. Work
around in this in the backend by lowering to a call to `fmod` instead with
necessary extension/truncation between floats/doubles.

Closes #27859
