nir/algebraic: Remove imprecise flog2 optimizations
While mathematically correct, these two optimizations result in an expression with substantially lower precision than the original. For any positive finite floating-point value, log2(x) is well-defined and finite. More precisely, it is in the range [-150, 150] so any sum of logarithms log2(a) + log2(b) is also well-defined and finite as long as a and b are both positive and finite. However, if a and b are either very small or very large, their product may get flushed to infinity or zero causing log2(a * b) to be nowhere close to log2(a) + log2(b). This imprecision was causing incorrect rendering in Talos Principal because part of its HDR rendering process involves doing 8 texture operations, clamping the result to [0, 65000], taking a dot-product with a constant, and then taking the log2. This is done 6 or 8 times and summed to produce the final result which is written to a red texture. In cases where you have a region of the screen that is very dark, it can end up getting a result value of -inf which is not what is intended.
