It is generally beneficial to prefer "movi d0, #0" over "fmov s0, wzr" as this
is most efficient across all cores; it is recognised as a zeroing idiom. For
newer cores, fmov instructions can also be eliminated early and there is no
difference with movi, but some implementations lack this so is not true for
other/older cores. Thus this standardises on using movi as this should always
gives the same or better performance than the fmov with wzr.

This patch adds support for the fptoui.sat and fptosi.sat intrinsics,
which provide basically the same functionality as the existing fptoui
and fptosi instructions, but will saturate (or return 0 for NaN) on
values unrepresentable in the target type, instead of returning
poison. Related mailing list discussion can be found at:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/llvm-dev/cgDFaBmCnDQ/CZAIMj4IBAAJ
The intrinsics have overloaded source and result type and support
vector operands:
i32 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i32.f32(float %f)
i100 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i100.f64(double %f)
<4 x i32> @llvm.fptoui.sat.v4i32.v4f16(half %f)
// etc
On the SelectionDAG layer two new ISD opcodes are added,
FP_TO_UINT_SAT and FP_TO_SINT_SAT. These opcodes have two operands
and one result. The second operand is an integer constant specifying
the scalar saturation width. The idea here is that initially the
second operand and the scalar width of the result type are the same,
but they may change during type legalization. For example:
i19 @llvm.fptsi.sat.i19.f32(float %f)
// builds
i19 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
// type legalizes (through integer result promotion)
i32 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
I went for this approach, because saturated conversion does not
compose well. There is no good way of "adjusting" a saturating
conversion to i32 into one to i19 short of saturating twice.
Specifying the saturation width separately allows directly saturating
to the correct width.
There are two baseline expansions for the fp_to_xint_sat opcodes. If
the integer bounds can be exactly represented in the float type and
fminnum/fmaxnum are legal, we can expand to something like:
f = fmaxnum f, FP(MIN)
f = fminnum f, FP(MAX)
i = fptoxi f
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
If the bounds cannot be exactly represented, we expand to something
like this instead:
i = fptoxi f
i = select f ult FP(MIN), MIN, i
i = select f ogt FP(MAX), MAX, i
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
It should be noted that this expansion assumes a non-trapping fptoxi.
Initial tests are for AArch64, x86_64 and ARM. This exercises all of
the scalar and vector legalization. ARM is included to test float
softening.
