Subject: [PATCH 1/1] newlib: libm: fix complex atan for +/- 1 + 0i

Delete check which ensured atan2 was not called with x=0. This is not
necessary as atan2 is defined for x=0 when y != 0. The check incorrectly
resulted in catan returning nan + inf i for when real part is +/- 1 and
imaginary part is 0.

The check could also have implications when called with imaginary number
x + yi where x^2 + y^2 == 1.0. Although this is unlikely due to floating
point precision.
