Summary:
This allows some integer bitwise operations to instead be performed by
hardware fp instructions. This is correct because the RISC-V spec
requires the F and D extensions to use the IEEE-754 standard
representation, and fp register loads and stores to be bit-preserving.
This is tested against the soft-float ABI, but with hardware float
extensions enabled, so that the tests also ensure the optimisation also
fires in this case.
