This was requested in D13076: if we're going to canonicalize to fabs(), ValueTracking
should know that fabs() clears sign bits.
In this patch (as in D13076), we're not handling vectors yet even though computeKnownBits'
fabs() case itself should be vector-ready via the splat in this patch.
Fixing this will require follow-on patches to correct other logic that uses 'getScalarType'.

Eliminate library calls and intrinsic calls to fabs when the input
is a squared value.
Note that no unsafe-math / fast-math assumptions are needed for
this optimization.
