Added new gate classes to :mod:`qiskit.circuit.library` for the
:math:`\sqrt{X}`, its adjoint :math:`\sqrt{X}^\dagger`, and
controlled :math:`\sqrt{X}` gates as
:class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.SXGate`,
:class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.SXdgGate`, and
:class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.CSXGate`. They can also be added to
a :class:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit` object using the
:meth:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.sx`,
:meth:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.sxdg`, and
:meth:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.csx` respectively.
