Use fabs(x) instead of branching on signedness of input to sin and cos
The sin and cos code is inconsistent about its use of fabs to get the
absolute value of X where in some places it conditionalizes the code
while in others it uses fabs. fabs seems to be a better candidate in
most cases because it avoids a branch. Similarly there is an attempt
to make it easier for the compiler to emit conditional assignment
instructions (like fcsel on aarch64) where it can, by isolating
conditional assignment constructs from the rest of the expression.
A further benefit of this change is to identify common constructs
across functions and consolidate them in future patches.
