Doesn't support all the FPSCR flags, just the FPRF ones.
Add PPCAnalyzer support to remove unnecessary FPRF calculations.

POV-ray benchmark with enableFPRF forced on for an extreme comparison:
Before: 1500s
After, fmul/fmadd only: 728s
After, all float: 753s

In real games that use FPRF, like F-Zero GX, FPRF previously cost a few percent
of total runtime.

Since FPRF is so much faster now, if enableFPRF is set, just do it for every
float instruction, not just fmul/fmadd like before. I don't know if this will
fix any games, but there's little good reason not to.

Nothing insane sticking out. LGTM
Get some JMC testing magic. :P
