Subject: Add an extra pow rule to match.pd
From: Richard Sandiford <richard.sandiford@arm.com>
Gcc: private.sent
--text follows this line--
Simplify pow(|x|,y) and pow(-x,y) to pow(x,y) if y is an even integer.
At the moment this duplicates a case in fold_builtin_pow, but an
upcoming patch will move all the fold_builtin_pow rules to match.pd.
I'm doing this one early to fix a regression in builtin-10.c for
soft-float ARM.

gcc/
	* real.h (real_isinteger): Declare.
	* real.c (real_isinteger): New function.
	* match.pd: Simplify pow(|x|,y) and pow(-x,y) to pow(x,y)
	if y is an even integer.
