cmd/compile: precompute constant square roots
If a program wants to evaluate math.Sqrt for any constant value
(for example, math.Sqrt(3)), we can replace that expression with
its evaluation (1.
7320508075688772) at compile time, instead of
generating a SQRT assembly command or equivalent.
Adds tests that math.Sqrt generates the correct values. I also
compiled a short program and verified that the Sqrt expression was
replaced by a constant value in the "after opt" step.
Adds a short doc to the top of generic.rules explaining what the file
does and how other files interact with it.
Fixes #15543.
