Add half-angle transformations

[EmmanuelCharpentier]

In some circumstances (e.g. integration),
it may be useful to rewrite

• expressions in sin(x), cos(x), etc.
  as expressions in tan(x/2),
• expressions in sinh(x), cosh(x), etc.
  as expressions in tanh(x/2)

This ticket implements a method
for this transformation.

This passes ptestlong without any new failure.

==> needs_review, if only to activate patchbots.

This is a good thing to add.

I rebased on Sage 9.4.rc2 and added a commit with:

• changes from \| to | in FriCAS output reverted:
  they break tests for me
• some refactoring for readability of code ​and examples
  • use half for Integer(1)/Integer(2)
    (also makes lines shorter)
  • less parentheses, brackets and backslashes
    in the all(...) test
  • make trig_expand example more compelling
    by naming a and b
• some reformatting, in particular :: and
  ​....: ​for example and test blocks
• minor rephrasing, fix spacing and a typo

Set to positive review if you agree with these changes.

Replying to @slel:

This is a good thing to add.

Indeed... sympy's and giac integrators use this often.

I rebased on Sage 9.4.rc2 and added a commit with:

• changes from \| to | in FriCAS output reverted:
  they break tests for me

??? Not for me. Go figure...

• some refactoring for readability of code ​and examples
  • use half for Integer(1)/Integer(2)
    (also makes lines shorter)

Smart. I should have thought of this, I didn't...

• less parentheses, brackets and backslashes
  in the all(...) test
• make trig_expand example more compelling
  by naming a and b
• some reformatting, in particular :: and
  ​....: ​for example and test blocks

I'm still struggling with ResStructuredText (too much markup syntaxes : LaTeX, Markdown, Org, Oxygen, WikiFormatting and now this...). Thanks a lot !

• minor rephrasing, fix spacing and a typo

Set to positive review if you agree with these changes.

Thanks ! I do.

BTW : you should be co-author, but I'm almost sure that Trac will balk at the same name in Author and Reviewer fields.

In the same spirit (probably more useful), you may be interested in my attempt to #10038 (demoivre/exponentialize).

The FriCAS output can be a different ticket.
Maybe it depends on the version of FriCAS.

Trac won't mind us being co-authors and
co-reviewers of the ticket. It's frequent.

Regarding #10038, I saw you pushed a branch
and I'm planning to look at it soon.

The FriCAS output problem might be fixed by #32279
(see also #32379).
