Update in v2:
1. Support -mno-daz-ftz, and make the the option effectively three state as:
if (mdaz-ftz)
link crtfastmath.o
else if ((Ofast || ffast-math || funsafe-math-optimizations)
&& !shared && !mno-daz-ftz)
link crtfastmath.o
else
Don't link crtfastmath.o
2. Still make the option Target since
a. cc1: error: command-line option ‘-mdaz-ftz’ is valid for the driver but
not for C
b. Since there's no real variable speicified by mdaz-ftz, I saw in
options.h, it's marked as
#ifndef GENERATOR_FILE
int x_VAR_mdaz_ftz;
#define x_VAR_mdaz_ftz do_not_use
#endif
and not be saved and restored in cl_target_option_save and
cl_target_option_restore(am I missing something?)
3. Capital the first letter and add more descriptions about -mdaz-ftz and
-shared.

PR target/55522
PR target/36821
* config/i386/gnu-user-common.h (GNU_USER_TARGET_MATHFILE_SPEC):
Link crtfastmath.o whenever -mdaz-ftz is specified. Don't link
crtfastmath.o when -share or -mno-daz-ftz is specified.
* config/i386/i386.opt (mdaz-ftz): New option.
* doc/invoke.texi (x86 options): Document mftz-daz.
