Returns the inverse cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
v = acos(x) is the number in [0, pi] for which cos(v) = x.
This function is sometimes called arccos, is such that:
cos(acos(x)) = x
and such that:
acos(x) = asrc(1/x)

; print acos(.5, 1e-5), acos(.5, 1e-10), acos(.5, 1e-15), acos(.5, 1e-20)
