The motivation for the change is that we can't have pseudo-global settings for
codegen living in TargetOptions because that doesn't work with LTO.
Ideally, these reciprocal attributes will be moved to the instruction-level via
FMF, metadata, or something else. But making them function attributes is at least
an improvement over the current state.
The ingredients of this patch are:
Remove the reciprocal estimate command-line debug option.
Add TargetRecip to TargetLowering.
Remove TargetRecip from TargetOptions.
Clean up the TargetRecip implementation to work with this new scheme.
Set the default reciprocal settings in TargetLoweringBase (everything is off).
Update the PowerPC defaults, users, and tests.
Update the x86 defaults, users, and tests.
Note that if this patch needs to be reverted, the related clang patch checked in
at r283251 should be reverted too.

This places the 132/213/231 form number in front of the SS/SD/PS/PD. Move the Y for 256-bit versions to be after the PS/PD. Change the AVX512 scalar forms to include a Z in the their name. This new format should be consistent with the general naming of instructions.

When calculating a square root using Newton-Raphson with two constants,
a naive implementation is to use five multiplications (four muls to calculate
reciprocal square root and another one to calculate the square root itself).
However, after some reassociation and CSE the same result can be obtained
with only four multiplications. Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to do
such a reassociation in the back-end. So, the patch modifies NR code itself
so that it directly builds optimal code for SQRT and doesn't rely on any
further reassociation.
