According to IR LangRef, the FMF flag:
contract
Allow floating-point contraction (e.g. fusing a multiply followed by an
addition into a fused multiply-and-add).
reassoc
Allow reassociation transformations for floating-point instructions.
This may dramatically change results in floating-point.
My understanding is that these two flags shouldn't imply each other,
as we might have a SDNode that can be reassociated with others, but
not contractble.
eg: We may want following fmul/fad/fsub to freely reassoc, but don't
want fma being generated here.
%F = fmul reassoc double %A, %B ; <double> [#uses=1]
%G = fmul reassoc double %C, %D ; <double> [#uses=1]
%H = fadd reassoc double %F, %G ; <double> [#uses=1]
%I = fsub reassoc double %H, %E ; <double> [#uses=1]
Before https://reviews.llvm.org/D45710, `reassoc` flag actually
did not imply isContratable either.
The current implementation also only check the flag in fadd node,
ignoring fmul node, this patch update that as well.

On PowerPC, we have vnmsubfp Altivec instruction for fnmsub operation on
v4f32 type. Default pattern for this instruction never works since we
don't have legal fneg for v4f32 when VSX disabled.

On PowerPC, FNMSUB (both VSX and non-VSX version) means -(a*b-c). But
the backend used to generate these instructions regardless whether nsz
flag exists or not. If a*b-c==0, such transformation changes sign of
zero.
This patch introduces PPC specific FNMSUB ISD opcode, which may help
improving combined FMA code sequence.

A lot of tests under PowerPC are using fast flag, while fast is just
alias of 7 fast-math flags. This change makes test points clearer.
mc-instrlat.ll and sms-iterator.ll keeps unchanged since they are not
testing fast-math behavior. (one for machine combiner crash, one for
machine pipeliner bug)
