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.

D8982 ( checked in at http://reviews.llvm.org/rL239001 ) added command-line
options to allow reciprocal estimate instructions to be used in place of
divisions and square roots.
This patch changes the default settings for x86 targets to allow that recip
codegen (except for scalar division because that breaks too much code) when
using -ffast-math or its equivalent.
This matches GCC behavior for this kind of codegen.

The first try (r238051) to land this was reverted due to ExecutionEngine build failure;
that was hopefully addressed by r238788.
The second try (r238842) to land this was reverted due to BUILD_SHARED_LIBS failure;
that was hopefully addressed by r238953.
This patch adds a TargetRecip class for processing many recip codegen possibilities.
The class is intended to handle both command-line options to llc as well
as options passed in from a front-end such as clang with the -mrecip option.
The x86 backend is updated to use the new functionality.
Only -mcpu=btver2 with -ffast-math should see a functional change from this patch.
All other x86 CPUs continue to *not* use reciprocal estimates by default with -ffast-math.

This is a follow-on to r221706 and r221731 and discussed in more detail in PR21385.
This patch also loosens the testcase checking for btver2. We know that the "1.0" will be loaded, but
we can't tell exactly when, so replace the CHECK-NEXT specifiers with plain CHECKs. The CHECK-NEXT
sequence relied on a quirk of post-RA-scheduling that may change independently of anything in these tests.

This is a first step for generating SSE rcp instructions for reciprocal
calcs when fast-math allows it. This is very similar to the rsqrt optimization
enabled in D5658 ( http://reviews.llvm.org/rL220570 ).
For now, be conservative and only enable this for AMD btver2 where performance
improves significantly both in terms of latency and throughput.
We may never enable this codegen for Intel Core* chips because the divider circuits
are just too fast. On SandyBridge, divss can be as fast as 10 cycles versus the 21
cycle critical path for the rcp + mul + sub + mul + add estimate.
Follow-on patches may allow configuration of the number of Newton-Raphson refinement
steps, add AVX512 support, and enable the optimization for more chips.
