[SimplifyLibCalls] require fast-math-flags for pow(X, -0.5) transforms
As discussed in PR44330: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44330 ...the transform from pow(X, -0.5) libcall/intrinsic to reciprocal square root can result in small deviations from the expected result due to differences in the pow() implementation and/or the extra rounding step from the division. This patch proposes to allow that difference with either the 'approximate functions' or 'reassociate' FMF: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fast-math-flags In practice, this likely means that the code is compiled with all of 'fast' (-ffast-math), but I have preserved the existing specializations for -0.0/-INF that enable generating safe code if those special values are allowed simultaneously with allowing approximation/reassociation. The question about whether a similar restriction is needed for the non-reciprocal case -- pow(X, 0.5) -- is deferred. That transform is allowed without FMF currently, and this patch does not change that behavior. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D71706
