widespread glibc bugs.
The glibc implementation of exp10 has a very serious precision bug in
version 2.15 (and older versions). This is still very widely used (the
current Ubuntu LTS for example uses it) and so it isn't reasonable to
make transforms that produce these functions. This fixes many
miscompiles introduced when we started transforming pow(10.0, ...) into
exp10, and it may have fixed other latent miscompiles where exp10
provided sufficient precision but exp10f did not.
This is all really horrible. The primary bug has been fixed for over
a year and glibc 2.18 works correctly for the test cases I have, but it
will be 2017 before the LTS using 2.15 is no longer supported by Ubuntu
(and thus reasonable for folks to be relying on). =[ We're either going
to need to live without these optimizations, or find a way to switch
behavior more dynamically than using simply the fact that the OS is
"Linux".
To make matters worse, there appears to be significant testing and
fixing of numerous other bugs in the exp10 family of functions right now
in glibc. While those haven't been causing problems I've seen in the
wild, it gives me concerns that we may need to wait until an even later
release of glibc before we can reliably transform code into exp10.

InstCombine, in visitFPTrunc, applies the following optimization to sqrt calls:
(fptrunc (sqrt (fpext x))) -> (sqrtf x)
but does not apply the same optimization to llvm.sqrt. This is a problem
because, to enable vectorization, Clang generates llvm.sqrt instead of sqrt in
fast-math mode, and because this optimization is being applied to sqrt and not
applied to llvm.sqrt, sometimes the fast-math code is slower.
This change makes InstCombine apply this optimization to llvm.sqrt as well.
This fixes the specific problem in PR17758, although the same underlying issue
(optimizations applied to libcalls are not applied to intrinsics) exists for
other optimizations in SimplifyLibCalls.

This patch migrates the math library call simplifications from the
simplify-libcalls pass into the instcombine library call simplifier.
I have typically migrated just one simplifier at a time, but the math
simplifiers are interdependent because:
1. CosOpt, PowOpt, and Exp2Opt all depend on UnaryDoubleFPOpt.
2. CosOpt, PowOpt, Exp2Opt, and UnaryDoubleFPOpt all depend on
the option -enable-double-float-shrink.
These two factors made migrating each of these simplifiers individually
more of a pain than it would be worth. So, I migrated them all together.
