    rtl-ssa: Use frequency-weighted insn costs
    
    rtl_ssa::changes_are_worthwhile used the standard approach
    of summing up the individual costs of the old and new sequences
    to see which one is better overall.  But when optimising for
    speed and changing instructions in multiple blocks, it seems
    better to weight the cost of each instruction by its execution
    frequency.  (We already do something similar for SLP layouts.)
    
    gcc/
            * rtl-ssa/changes.cc: Include sreal.h.
            (rtl_ssa::changes_are_worthwhile): When optimizing for speed,
            scale the cost of each instruction by its execution frequency.
    
    (cherry picked from commit d7266f655e532ba72c6884edf4bff1d46adb200f)
