Sanjay Patel 359b105745 Process the -freciprocal-math optimization flag (PR20912) ...

The driver currently accepts but ignores the -freciprocal-math flag.
This patch passes the flag through and enables 'arcp' fast-math-flag
generation in IR.

Note that this change does not actually enable the optimization for
any target. The reassociation optimization that this flag specifies
was implemented by http://reviews.llvm.org/D6334 :
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=222510

Because the optimization is done in the backend rather than IR,
the backend must be modified to understand instruction-level
fast-math-flags or a new function-level attribute must be created.

Also note that -freciprocal-math is independent of any target-specific
usage of reciprocal estimate hardware instructions. That requires
its own flag ('-mrecip').
