Optimize reciprocal sqrt operation

This change deprecates rr::RcpSqrt_pp with rr::RcpSqrt. As with Rcp,
RcpSqrt computes the result using Newton-Rhapson if it's faster and the
initial approximation intrinsic is available on the current target.
Currently, only LLVM on Intel will use NR for RelaxedPrecision. Note
that passing in Precision::Relaxed will produce a faster, but less
precise reciprocal sqrt.

Also made it so that SprivShader instruction GLSLstd450InverseSqrt now
invokes RcpSqrt(x, Precision::Full) instead of performing 1/sqrt(x).
Note that the Vulkan spec states that inversesqrt()'s precision is 2
ULP, and sqrt()'s precision is inherited from 1.0 / inversesqrt();
however, our rr::Sqrt is implemented in terms of x86's sqrt intrinsic on
x86, or as calls to sqrt from Math.h.
