    nvptx: Tweak constraints on copysign instructions
    
    Many thanks to Thomas Schwinge for confirming my hypothesis that the register
    usage regression, PR target/104345, is solely due to libgcc's _muldc3 function.
    In addition to the isinf functionality in the previously proposed nvptx patch at
    https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-January/588453.html which
    significantly reduces the number of instructions in _muldc3, the patch below
    further reduces both the number of instructions and the number of explicitly
    declared registers, by permitting floating point constant immediate operands
    in nvptx's copysign instruction.
    
    Fingers-crossed, the combination with all of the previous proposed nvptx
    patches improves things.  Ultimately, increasing register usage from 50 to
    51 registers, reducing the number of concurrent threads by ~2%, can easily
    be countered if we're now executing significantly fewer instructions in each
    kernel, for a net performance win.
    
    This patch has been tested on nvptx-none hosted on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
    with a "make" and "make -k check" with no new failures.
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * config/nvptx/nvptx.md (copysign<mode>3): Allow immediate
            floating point constants as operands 1 and/or 2.
