Simplify IntPower.

Undubiously, special-casing (base = 0.0) and (exponent = 0) has no sense, as the common path already handles this case perfectly.

Dubiously, handling rows of zeros has little sense either: on my computer, present IntPower(x, 1024) is 2 times faster than my version, but IntPower(x, 1023) is 2 times slower, and the average case is equal.
