[Bug math/10716] New: various problems in cacosh and cacos

[zimmerma+gcc at loria dot fr]

The classical branch cut for cacosh() is (-inf, 1). However, cacosh() is using
a different branch cut. For example (courtesy of Kaveh Ghazi):

cacosh(-1 + -0 I) -> (0 + 3.14159265358979 I)

With the classical branch cut, one would get (0 - 3.14159265358979 I).

Also the sign of 0 is not always correct:

cacos(1 + 0 I) -> (0 + 0 I) [should be (0 - O I)]

Finally the documentation of cacosh says that the real part of the result is
chosen non-negative, which is clearly wrong on this example:

cacosh(-3.45677995681763 + -2.3456699848175 I) -> (-2.11780021549476 +
2.53187508681341 I)
