Use rsqrt (X86) to speed up reciprocal square root calcs
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()..
