To permit ssa-level optimization, this change introduces an amd64 intrinsic
that generates the VFMADD231SD instruction for the fused-multiply-add
operation on systems that support it. System support is detected via
cpu.X86.HasFMA. A rewrite rule can then translate the generic ssa intrinsic
("Fma") to VFMADD231SD.
The benchmark compares the software implementation (old) with the intrinsic
(new).
