 *
 *	Square root
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * double x, y, sqrt();
 *
 * y = sqrt( x );
 *
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Returns the square root of x.
 *
 * Range reduction involves isolating the power of two of the
 * argument and using a polynomial approximation to obtain
 * a rough value for the square root.  Then Heron's iteration
 * is used three times to converge to an accurate value.
 *
 *
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *
 *                      Relative error:
 * arithmetic   domain     # trials      peak         rms
 *    DEC       0, 10       60000       2.1e-17     7.9e-18
 *    IEEE      0,1.7e308   30000       1.7e-16     6.3e-17
 *
 *
 * ERROR MESSAGES:
 *
 *   message         condition      value returned
 * sqrt domain        x < 0            0.0
