When calculating a square root using Newton-Raphson with two constants,
a naive implementation is to use five multiplications (four muls to calculate
reciprocal square root and another one to calculate the square root itself).
However, after some reassociation and CSE the same result can be obtained
with only four multiplications. Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to do
such a reassociation in the back-end. So, the patch modifies NR code itself
so that it directly builds optimal code for SQRT and doesn't rely on any
further reassociation.

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

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 first step for generating SSE rsqrt instructions for
reciprocal square root calcs when fast-math is allowed.
For now, be conservative and only enable this for AMD btver2
where performance improves significantly - for example, 29%
on llvm/projects/test-suite/SingleSource/Benchmarks/BenchmarkGame/n-body.c
(if we convert the data type to single-precision float).
This patch adds a two constant version of the Newton-Raphson
refinement algorithm to DAGCombiner that can be selected by any target
via a parameter returned by getRsqrtEstimate()..

When -ffast-math is in effect (on Linux, at least), clang defines
__FINITE_MATH_ONLY__ > 0 when including <math.h>. This causes the
preprocessor to include <bits/math-finite.h>, which renames the sqrt functions.
For instance, "sqrt" is renamed as "__sqrt_finite".
This patch adds the 3 new names in such a way that they will be treated
as equivalent to their respective original names.
