cmd/internal/gc: use hardware instruction for math.Sqrt (amd64/arm)

I first prototyped this change in Sept 2011, and I discarded it
because it made no difference in the obvious benchmark loop.
It still makes no difference in the obvious benchmark loop,
but in a less obvious one, doing some extra computation
around the calls to Sqrt, not making the call does have a
significant effect.

benchmark                 old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkSqrt             4.56          4.57          +0.22%
BenchmarkSqrtIndirect     4.56          4.56          +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtGo           69.4          69.4          +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtPrime        4417          3647          -17.43%

This is a warmup for using hardware expansions for some
calls to 1-line assembly routines in the runtime (for example getg).
