nv50,nvc0: handle SQRT lowering inside the driver

First off, st/mesa lowers DSQRT incorrectly (it uses CMP to attempt to
find out whether the input is less than 0). Secondly the current
approach (x * rsq(x)) behaves poorly for x = inf - a NaN is produced
instead of inf.

Instead we switch to the less accurate rcp(rsq(x)) method - this behaves
nicely for all valid inputs. We still don't do this for DSQRT since the
RSQ/RCP ops are *really* inaccurate, and don't even have Newton-Raphson
steps right now. Eventually we should have a separate library function
for DSQRT that does it more precisely (and perhaps move this lowering to
the post-opt phase).

This fixes a number of dEQP precision tests that were expecting better
behavior for infinite inputs.
