Remove Safe Pentium FDIV Checks

Turns off the generation of special code to make floating point division safe on Pentium processors with the floating-point division (FDIV) bug.

The native code compiler automatically adds extra code for floating-point operations to make these operations safe when run on Pentium processors that have the FDIV bug. Selecting this option produces code that is smaller and faster, but which may in rare cases produce slightly incorrect results on Pentium processors with the FDIV bug.
