Landon Curt Noll fdbf53d7e8 add vercos(), avercos(), covercos(), acovercos()
Improved trig help files.

Added new vercos(x, [,eps]) for versed cosine and covercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse versed cosine.

Added new avercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine and acovercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed cosine.

NAME
coversin - coversed trigonometric sine
SYNOPSIS
coversin(x [,eps])
TYPES
x number (real or complex)
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return number
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the coversed trigonometric sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
This function is sometimes called covers, or cvs, is equivalent to:
coversin(x) = 1 - sin(x)
EXAMPLE
; print coversin(0.2), coversin(3/7), coversin(-31)
