[Bug tree-optimization/17687] New: [4.1] sincos can be folded at the tree level

[bonzini at gcc dot gnu dot org]

If a sincos instruction is defined, it is profitable to introduce these foldings:

  sincos (x, &s, &c);
  sincos (-x, &s, &c);

to

  (*c = cos (x), *s = sin (x))
  (*c = cos (x), *s = -sin (x))

respectively.  This allows the sincos instruction to be used; the second folding
is necessary to avoid that the cos (x) = cos (-x) optimization kicks in, leaving
us with an unoptimizable

  (*c = cos (x), *s = sin (-x))

This patch is proposed for 4.1 through the 17652 metabug.
