[Target] remove TargetRecip class; move reciprocal estimate isel functionality to TargetLowering

Summary

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.

I think this is an improvement. Can we go a bit further in order to further remove the boilerplate here and move the calls to getSqrtEnabled and, if not disabled, getSqrtRefinementSteps into the caller of getRsqrtEstimate (along with the analogous change for the Div estimates)? All of the implementations use 'VT = Operand.getValueType()'.

Patch updated:
Implement Hal's suggestion to reduce the repeated code by pulling getRsqrtEstimate/getSqrtRefinementSteps and the Div siblings into DAGCombiner. This changes the hook interface, so the patch grows a bit, but this is less ugly overall. :)

Patch updated:
There was a copy/paste bug in the DAGCombiner hunk - it was checking the function override for div rather than sqrt. We don't have very good test coverage for checking those function attribute strings.

I had one inline bikeshed type of comment, but otherwise also LGTM. Thanks for doing this work!

Bit of a bikeshed but these two functions sound like they're seeing if sqrt and div are instructions in the hardware.

I'll take any suggested improvements. :)

Note that I reverted this commit at rL284513 because I screwed something up with the StringRefs while parsing the function attribute.
