pj_phi2(): speed-up computation (and thus inverse ellipsoidal Mercator and LCC)
This does not change the numeric values returned by the method, as far as I could see on a few samplings. The tricks used save a call to sin() and atan() at each iteration. This directly affects speed of inverse Mercator and LCC (among others), in their ellipsoidal formulation. Timings on inverse Mercator show a 31% speed-up at mid-latitudes where pj_phi2() needs 5 iterations, and 24% at latitudes close to 0 or 90deg where it needs one iteration.
