nir/algebraic: Don't distrubte absolute-value into dot-products
Dot product is multiplication followed by addition, and absolute value
does not distribute into addition.
Only vec4 platforms are affected by this change as scalar-only platforms
never have any of the fdot_replicated instructions. In the shader-db
results, below, shaders in MANY different applications are affected.
Trine, Doom3, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Counter Strike: Global
Offensive, Mad Max, Metro Last Light, and on and on... I'm really
shocked that there were no test regressions!
All Haswell and earlier platforms had similar results. (Haswell shown)
