fold: sqrt(x * x * y) -> fabs(x) * sqrt(y)

If a square root call has an FP multiplication argument that can be reassociated,
then we can hoist a repeated factor out of the square root call and into a fabs().

In the simplest case, this:

   y = sqrt(x * x);

becomes this:

   y = fabs(x);

This patch relies on an earlier optimization in instcombine or reassociate to put the
multiplication tree into a canonical form, so we don't have to search over
every permutation of the multiplication tree.

Because there are no IR-level FastMathFlags for intrinsics (PR21290), we have to
use function-level attributes to do this optimization. This needs to be fixed
for both the intrinsics and in the backend.
