define FP_FAST_FMA* when fma* can be inlined

FP_FAST_FMA can be defined if "the fma function generally executes about as fast as, or faster than, a multiply and an add of double operands", which can only be true if the fma call is inlined as an instruction. gcc sets __FP_FAST_FMA if __builtin_fma is inlined as an instruction, but that does not mean an fma call will be inlined (e.g. it is defined with -fno-builtin-fma), other compilers (clang) don't even have such macro, but this is the closest we can get. (even if the libc fma implementation is a single instruction, the extern call overhead is already too big when the macro is used to decide between x*y+z and fma(x,y,z) so it cannot be based on libc only, defining the macro unconditionally on targets which have fma in the base isa is also incorrect: the compiler might not inline fma anyway.) this solution works with gcc unless fma inlining is explicitly turned off.
