PROJ/man/man3, branch 4.9.2

Drop in the latest geodesic library from GeographicLib (version 1.44).

The changes are:

  - Improve accuracy of calculations by evaluating trigonometric
    functions more carefully and replacing the series for the reduced
    length with one with a smaller truncation error.

  - The allowed ranges for longitudes and azimuths is now unlimited; it
    used to be [-540d, 540d).

  - Enforce the restriction of latitude to [-90d, 90d] by returning NaNs
    if the latitude is outside this range.

  - The inverse calculation sets s12 to zero for coincident points at
    pole (instead of returning a tiny quantity).

This commit also includes a work-around for an inaccurate value for
pi/180 in dmstor.c (see the definitions of DEG_IN and DEG_OUT in
geod_interface.c).

Make multistresstext.exe compile, and work, with mingw cross compiler (autoconf build)

Update to version 1.43 of the geodesic routines. This fixes two

relatively obscure problems.  (1) The business of returning an unrolled
longitude with the solution to the direct problem was broken for
west-going geodesics.  (2) For flattening > 1/100, a slight inaccurate
result was returned for a12 in the direct calculation.
