 * Square Root
 *
 * Input:
 *   x - floating point value
 *
 * Output:
 *   square-root of x
 *
 * Description:
 *   This routine performs floating point square root.
 *
 *   The initial approximation is computed as
 *     y0 = 0.41731 + 0.59016 * f
 *   where f is a fraction such that x = f * 2^exp.
 *
 *   Three Newton iterations in the form of Heron's formula
 *   are then performed to obtain the final value:
 *     y[i] = (y[i-1] + f / y[i-1]) / 2, i = 1, 2, 3.
