in-tree implementations of TargetLoweringBase::isFMAFasterThanMulAndAdd in
order to resolve the following issues with fmuladd (i.e. optional FMA)
intrinsics:
1. On X86(-64) targets, ISD::FMA nodes are formed when lowering fmuladd
intrinsics even if the subtarget does not support FMA instructions, leading
to laughably bad code generation in some situations.
2. On AArch64 targets, ISD::FMA nodes are formed for operations on fp128,
resulting in a call to a software fp128 FMA implementation.
3. On PowerPC targets, FMAs are not generated from fmuladd intrinsics on types
like v2f32, v8f32, v4f64, etc., even though they promote, split, scalarize,
etc. to types that support hardware FMAs.
The function has also been slightly renamed for consistency and to force a
merge/build conflict for any out-of-tree target implementing it. To resolve,
see comments and fixed in-tree examples.

Performing this check unilaterally prevented us from generating FMAs when the incoming IR contained illegal vector types which would eventually be legalized to underlying types that *did* support FMA.
For example, an @llvm.fmuladd on an OpenCL float16 should become a sequence of float4 FMAs, not float4 fmul+fadd's.
NOTE: Because we still call the target-specific profitability hook, individual targets can reinstate the old behavior, if desired, by simply performing the legality check inside their callback hook. They can also perform more sophisticated legality checks, if, for example, some illegal vector types can be productively implemented as FMAs, but not others.
