[libc-commits] [libc] [llvm] [libc][math] Refactor sqrti to header-only (PR #177960)

https://github.com/0bVdnt created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/177960

Move the integer square root implementation (`isqrt` and `isqrt_fast`) to a header-only implementation in `src/__support/math/sqrti.h` and expose it via `shared/math/sqrti.h`.

This follows the established pattern for shared math functions, making `sqrti` and `sqrti_fast` available as constexpr functions in the `math::` namespace.

## Changes
- Add `libc/src/__support/math/sqrti.h` - core header-only implementation
- Add `libc/shared/math/sqrti.h` - shared header exporting to `shared::` namespace
- Update `uhksqrtus.cpp` and `uksqrtui.cpp` to use `math::sqrti`
- Update CMake and Bazel build files

Fixes #177650
