glsl: improve the accuracy of the atan(x,y) builtin function.

The previous formula for atan(x,y) returned a value of +/- pi whenever
|x|<0.0001, and used a formula based on atan(y/x) otherwise.  This
broke in cases where both x and y were small (e.g. atan(1e-5, 1e-5)).

This patch modifies the formula so that it returns a value of +/- pi
whenever |x|<1e-8*|y|, and uses the formula based on atan(y/x)
otherwise.
