If a program wants to evaluate math.Sqrt for any constant value (for example, math.Sqrt(3)), we can replace that expression with its evaluation (1.7320508075688772) at compile time, instead of generating a SQRT assembly command or equivalent. Adds tests that math.Sqrt generates the correct values. I also compiled a short program and verified that the Sqrt expression was replaced by a constant value in the "after opt" step. Adds a short doc to the top of generic.rules explaining what the file does and how other files interact with it. Fixes #15543.
