aco: use -1.0*x and 1.0*|x| for fneg/fabs

Rhys Perry requested to merge pendingchaos/mesa:aco_fneg_fabs_mul into master

Besides -1.0*x being 1 dword smaller than x^0x80000000, this commit also improves generated code when the application requires that denormals are flushed.

Future versions of DXVK will require that 32-bit denormals are flushed.
