This is a follow-up to D24816 - where we changed reciprocal estimates to be function attributes
rather than TargetOptions.
This patch is intended to be a structural, but not functional change. By moving all of the
TargetRecip functionality into TargetLowering, we can remove all of the reciprocal estimate
state, shield the callers from the string format implementation, and simplify/localize the
logic needed for a target to enable this.
If a function has a "reciprocal-estimates" attribute, those settings may override the target's
default reciprocal preferences for whatever operation and data type we're trying to optimize.
If there's no attribute string or specific setting for the op/type pair, just use the target
default settings.
As noted earlier, a better solution would be to move the reciprocal estimate settings to IR
instructions and SDNodes rather than function attributes, but that's a multi-step job that
requires infrastructure improvements. I intend to work on that, but it's not clear how long
it will take to get all the pieces in place.

The motivation for the change is that we can't have pseudo-global settings for
codegen living in TargetOptions because that doesn't work with LTO.
Ideally, these reciprocal attributes will be moved to the instruction-level via
FMF, metadata, or something else. But making them function attributes is at least
an improvement over the current state.
The ingredients of this patch are:
Remove the reciprocal estimate command-line debug option.
Add TargetRecip to TargetLowering.
Remove TargetRecip from TargetOptions.
Clean up the TargetRecip implementation to work with this new scheme.
Set the default reciprocal settings in TargetLoweringBase (everything is off).
Update the PowerPC defaults, users, and tests.
Update the x86 defaults, users, and tests.
Note that if this patch needs to be reverted, the related clang patch checked in
at r283251 should be reverted too.

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.
