Revert fix to #22
The fix in #22 solved the problem at hand and doing what was expected from the specified parameters. Unfortunately it also removed the slightly hacky "feature" that makes the web mercator work in pj_transform. The web mercator is special since the latitude is computed on the ellipsoid, but behaves as if if was defined on a sphere. Hence it is problematic to change the ellipsoid parameters when using the web mercator, even though that is the geodetically correct thing to do. The web mercator is used in more or less any web mapping application and is thus one of the most frequently used transformations in PROJ. This justifies re-introducing the minor bug reported in #22. The problem will have to be taken care of properly when pj_transform is removed from the library in favour of the transformation pipelines based API.
