Refactor reciprocal square root estimate into target-independent function; NFC.

This is purely a plumbing patch. No functional changes intended.

The ultimate goal is to allow targets other than PowerPC (certainly X86 and Aarch64) to turn this:

z = y / sqrt(x)

into:

z = y * rsqrte(x)

using whatever HW magic they can use. See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20900 .

The first step is to add a target hook for RSQRTE, take the already target-independent code selfishly hoarded by PPC, and put it into DAGCombiner.

Next steps:

    The code in DAGCombiner::BuildRSQRTE() should be refactored further; tests that exercise that logic need to be added.
    Logic in PPCTargetLowering::BuildRSQRTE() should be hoisted into DAGCombiner.
    X86 and AArch64 overrides for TargetLowering.BuildRSQRTE() should be added.
