## Description

Computes the square root of a number. There are separate functions for Q15, Q31, and floating-point data types. The square root function is computed using the Newton-Raphson algorithm. This is an iterative algorithm of the form:

         x1 = x0 - f(x0)/f'(x0)

where `x1` is the current estimate, `x0` is the previous estimate, and `f'(x0)` is the derivative of `f()` evaluated at `x0`. For the square root function, the algorithm reduces to:

        x0 = in/2                         [initial guess]
        x1 = 1/2 * ( x0 + in / x0)        [each iteration]
