In fast-math mode sqrt(x) is calculated using the fast expansion of the
reciprocal of the reciprocal sqrt expansion. The reciprocal and reciprocal
sqrt expansions use the associated estimate instructions along with some Newton
iterations. Unfortunately, as a result, sqrt(0) was being calculated as NaN,
which is not correct. Now we explicitly return a result of zero if the input is
zero.

While testing some experimental code to add vector-scalar registers to
PowerPC, I noticed that a couple of independent instructions were
flipped by the scheduler. The new CHECK-DAG support is perfect for
avoiding this problem.

The DAGCombine logic that recognized a/sqrt(b) and transformed it into
a multiplication by the reciprocal sqrt did not handle cases where the
sqrt and the division were separated by an fpext or fptrunc.

When unsafe FP math operations are enabled, we can use the fre[s] and
frsqrte[s] instructions, which generate reciprocal (sqrt) estimates, together
with some Newton iteration, in order to quickly generate floating-point
division and sqrt results. All of these instructions are separately optional,
and so each has its own feature flag (except for the Altivec instructions,
which are covered under the existing Altivec flag). Doing this is not only
faster than using the IEEE-compliant fdiv/fsqrt instructions, but allows these
computations to be pipelined with other computations in order to hide their
overall latency.
I've also added a couple of missing fnmsub patterns which turned out to be
missing (but are necessary for good code generation of the Newton iterations).
Altivec needs a similar fix, but that will probably be more complicated because
fneg is expanded for Altivec's v4f32.
