Fix middle-end/85811: Introduce tree_expr_maybe_non_p et al.

The motivation for this patch is PR middle-end/85811, a wrong-code
regression entitled "Invalid optimization with fmax, fabs and nan".
The optimization involves assuming max(x,y) is non-negative if (say)
y is non-negative, i.e. max(x,2.0).  Unfortunately, this is an invalid
assumption in the presence of NaNs.  Hence max(x,+qNaN), with IEEE fmax
semantics will always return x even though the qNaN is non-negative.
Worse, max(x,2.0) may return a negative value if x is -sNaN.

I'll quote Joseph Myers (many thanks) who describes things clearly as:
> (a) When both arguments are NaNs, the return value should be a qNaN,
> but sometimes it is an sNaN if at least one argument is an sNaN.
> (b) Under TS 18661-1 semantics, if either argument is an sNaN then the
> result should be a qNaN (whereas if one argument is a qNaN and the
> other is not a NaN, the result should be the non-NaN argument).
> Various implementations treat sNaNs like qNaNs here.

Under this logic, the tree_expr_nonnegative_p for IEEE fmax should be:

    CASE_CFN_FMAX:
    CASE_CFN_FMAX_FN:
      /* Usually RECURSE (arg0) || RECURSE (arg1) but NaNs complicate
         things.  In the presence of sNaNs, we're only guaranteed to be
         non-negative if both operands are non-negative.  In the presence
         of qNaNs, we're non-negative if either operand is non-negative
         and can't be a qNaN, or if both operands are non-negative.  */
      if (tree_expr_maybe_signaling_nan_p (arg0) ||
          tree_expr_maybe_signaling_nan_p (arg1))
        return RECURSE (arg0) && RECURSE (arg1);
      return RECURSE (arg0) ? (!tree_expr_maybe_nan_p (arg0)
                              || RECURSE (arg1))
                            : (RECURSE (arg1)
                              && !tree_expr_maybe_nan_p (arg1));

Which indeed resolves the wrong code in the PR.  The infrastructure that
makes this possible are the two new functions tree_expr_maybe_nan_p and
tree_expr_maybe_signaling_nan_p which test whether a value may potentially
be a NaN or a signaling NaN respectively.  In fact, this patch adds seven
new predicates to the middle-end:

bool tree_expr_finite_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_infinite_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_maybe_infinite_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_signaling_nan_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_maybe_signaling_nan_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_nan_p (const_tree);
bool tree_expr_maybe_nan_p (const_tree);

These functions correspond to the "must" and "may" operators in modal logic,
and allow us to triage expressions in the middle-end; definitely a NaN,
definitely not a NaN, and unknown at compile-time, etc.  A prime example of
the utility of these functions is that a IEEE floating point value promoted
from an integer type can't be a NaN or infinite.  Hence (double)i+0.0 where
i is an integer can be simplified to (double)i even with -fsignaling-nans.
Currently in GCC optimizations are enabled/disabled based on whether the
expression's type supports NaNs or sNaNs; with these new predicates they
can be controlled by whether the actual operands may or may not be NaNs.

Having added these extremely useful helper functions to the middle-end,
I couldn't help by use then in a few places in fold-const.c, builtins.c
and match.pd.  In the near term, these can/should be used in places
where the tree optimizers test for HONOR_NANS, HONOR_INFINITIES or
HONOR_SNANS, or explicitly test whether a REAL_CST is a NaN or Inf.
In the longer term (I'm not volunteering) these predicates could perhaps
be hooked into the middle-end's SSA chaining and/or VRP machinery,
allowing finiteness to propagated around the CFG, much like we
currently propagate value ranges.

This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with a "make bootstrap"
and "make -k check".
Ok for mainline?
