[libclc] Optimize generic CLC fmin/fmax (#128506)

With this commit, the CLC fmin/fmax builtins use clang's
__builtin_elementwise_(min|max)imumnum which helps us generate LLVM
minimumnum/maximumnum intrinsics directly. These intrinsics uniformly
select the non-NaN input over the (quiet or signalling) NaN input, which
corresponds to what the OpenCL CTS tests.

These intrinsics maintain the vector types, as opposed to scalarizing,
which was previously happening. This commit therefore helps to optimize
codegen for those targets.

Note that there is ongoing discussion regarding how these builtins
should handle signalling NaNs in the OpenCL specification and whether
they should be able to return a quiet NaN as per the IEEE behaviour. If
the specification and/or CTS is ever updated to allow or mandate
returning a qNAN, these builtins could/should be updated to use
__builtin_elementwise_(min|max)num instead which would lower to LLVM
minnum/maxnum intrinsics.

The SPIR-V targets maintain the old implementations, as the LLVM ->
SPIR-V translator can't currently handle the LLVM intrinsics. The
implementation has been simplifies to consistently use clang builtins,
as opposed to before where the half version was explicitly defined.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
