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.
