The SSE rsqrt instruction (a fast reciprocal square root estimate) was
grouped in the same scheduling IIC_SSE_SQRT* class as the accurate (but very
slow) SSE sqrt instruction. For code which uses rsqrt (possibly with
newton-raphson iterations) this poor scheduling was affecting performances.
This patch splits off the rsqrt instruction from the sqrt instruction scheduling
classes and creates new IIC_SSE_RSQER* classes with latency values based on
Agner's table.

The old method used by X86TTI to determine partial-unrolling thresholds was
messy (because it worked by testing target features), and also would not
correctly identify the target CPU if certain target features were disabled.
After some discussions on IRC with Chandler et al., it was decided that the
processor scheduling models were the right containers for this information
(because it is often tied to special uop dispatch-buffer sizes).
This does represent a small functionality change:
- For generic x86-64 (which uses the SB model and, thus, will get some
unrolling).
- For AMD cores (because they still currently use the SB scheduling model)
- For Haswell (based on benchmarking by Louis Gerbarg, it was decided to bump
the default threshold to 50; we're working on a test case for this).
Otherwise, nothing has changed for any other targets. The logic, however, has
been moved into BasicTTI, so other targets may now also opt-in to this
functionality simply by setting LoopMicroOpBufferSize in their processor
model definitions.

The patch defines new or refines existing generic scheduling classes to match
the behavior of the SSE instructions.
It also maps those scheduling classes on the related SSE instructions.

Ideally, the machinel model is added at the time the instructions are
defined. But many instructions in X86InstrSSE.td still need a model.
Without this workaround the scheduler asserts because x86 already has
itinerary classes for these instructions, indicating they should be
modeled by the scheduler. Since we use the new machine model for other
instructions, it expects a new machine model for these too.

Replace the ill-defined MinLatency and ILPWindow properties with
with straightforward buffer sizes:
MCSchedMode::MicroOpBufferSize
MCProcResourceDesc::BufferSize
These can be used to more precisely model instruction execution if desired.
Disabled some misched tests temporarily. They'll be reenabled in a few commits.

The initial values were arbitrary. I want them to be more
conservative. This represents the number of latency cycles hidden by
OOO execution. In practice, I think it should be within a small factor
of the complex floating point operation latency so the scheduler can
make some attempt to hide latency even for smallish blocks.
These are by no means the best values, just a starting point for
tuning heuristics. Some benchmarks such as TSVC run faster with this
lower value for SandyBridge. I haven't run anything on Haswell, but
it's shouldn't be 2x SB.

Buffered means a later divide may be executed out-of-order while a
prior divide is sitting (buffered) in a reservation station.
You can tell it's not pipelined, because operations that use it
reserve it for more than one cycle:
def : WriteRes<WriteIDiv, [HWPort0, HWDivider]> {
let Latency = 25;
let ResourceCycles = [1, 10];
}
We don't currently distinguish between an unpipeline operation and one
that is split into multiple micro-ops requiring the same unit. Except
that the later may have NumMicroOps > 1 if they also consume
issue/dispatch resources.
