Keep -ffp-contract=fast by default if we have -funsafe-math-optimizations

Hi,

In common.opt, -ffp-contract=fast is set as the default for GCC.  But
then it gets disabled in c-family/c-opts.c if you are using ISO C
(e.g. with -std=c99).

The reason for this patch is that if you have also specified
-funsafe-math-optimizations (or -Ofast or -ffast-math) then it is
likely your preference to have -ffp-contract=fast on, so you can
generate fused multiply adds (fma standard pattern).

This patch works by blocking the override if you have
-funsafe-math-optimizations (directly or indirectly), causing fused
multiply add to be used in the places where we might hope to see it.
(I had considered forcing -ffp-contract=fast on in opts.c if you have
-funsafe-math-optimizations, but it is already on by default ... and
it didn't work either!  The problem is that it is forced off unless
you have explicitly asked for -ffp-contract=fast at the command-line.)

Standard regressions passed.

OK for trunk or stage 1?

Cheers,
Ian

        * gcc/c-family/c-opts.c (c_common_post_options): Don't override
        -ffp-contract=fast if unsafe-math-optimizations is on.

OK for trunk with the ChangeLog entry fixed (it's in c-family/ChangeLog, 
so no gcc/c-family/ in the entry itself, and the date should be in 
yyyy-mm-dd format).
