math: change the formula used for acos.s
old: 2*atan2(sqrt(1-x),sqrt(1+x))
new: atan2(fabs(sqrt((1-x)*(1+x))),x)
improvements:
* all edge cases are fixed (sign of zero in downward rounding)
* a bit faster (here a single call is about 131ns vs 162ns)
* a bit more precise (at most 1ulp error on 1M uniform random
samples in [0,1), the old formula gave some 2ulp errors as well)
