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
cos - trigonometric cosine
SYNOPSIS
cos(x [,eps])
TYPES
x number (real or complex)
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return number
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
EXAMPLE
; print cos(1, 1e-5), cos(1, 1e-10), cos(1, 1e-15), cos(1, 1e-20)
0.5403 0.5403023059 0.54030230586814 0.5403023058681397174
; print cos(2 + 3i, 1e-5), cos(2 + 3i, 1e-10)
-4.18963-9.10923i -4.189625691-9.1092278938i
; pi = pi(1e-20)
; print cos(pi/3, 1e-10), cos(pi/2, 1e-10), cos(pi, 1e-10)
0.5 0 -1
LIMITS
0 < eps < 1
