fpu/softfloat: re-factor sqrt

This is a little bit of a departure from softfloat's original approach
as we skip the estimate step in favour of a straight iteration. There
is a minor optimisation to avoid calculating more bits of precision
than we need however this still brings a performance drop, especially
for float64 operations.
