Landon Curt Noll 3abedd6713 fix aversin() and acoversin()
In cases where the real value to the inverse versed sine and the
inverse coversed sine function produces a complex value, the
conversion from real to complex was incorrect.

Added c_to_q(COMPLEX *c, bool cfree) to make is easier to convert
a COMPLEX value that is real (imag part is 0) into a NUMBER and
optionally free the COMPLEX value.

The func.c code now uses c_to_q().

NOTE: There is a XXX bug marked in the f_aversin() and f_acoversin()
that still needs to be fixed.

NAME
acoversin - inverse coversed trigonometric sine
SYNOPSIS
acoversin(x [,eps])
TYPES
x number (real or complex)
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return number
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the inverse coversed sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
The coversed sine function is sometimes called covers, or acosiv, or acvs,
may be defined as:
acoversin(x) = asin(1 - x)
EXAMPLE
; print acoversin(.5, 1e-5), acoversin(.5, 1e-10), acoversin(.5, 1e-15), acoversin(.5, 1e-20)

; print acoversin(1), acoversin(-5), acoversin(2 + 3i)
