SF bug 533198: Complex power underflow raises exception.
Konrad was too kind. Not only did it raise an exception, the specific exception it raised made no sense. These are old bugs in complex_pow() and friends: 1. Raising 0 to a negative power isn't a range error, it's a domain error, so changed c_pow() to set errno to EDOM in that case instead of ERANGE. 2. Changed complex_pow() to: A. Used the Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2 macro to try to clear errno of a spurious ERANGE error due to underflow in the libm pow() called by c_pow(). B. Produced different exceptions depending on the errno value: i) For errno==EDOM, raise ZeroDivisionError instead of ValueError. This is for consistency with the non-complex cases 0.0**-2 and 0**-2 and 0L**-2. ii) For errno==ERANGE, raise OverflowError. Bugfix candidate.
