dotCooCoo 40175d90c7 Geometry: inverses and conjugates by small affines are no longer refused
A projection now counts as invertible when its determinant, or its
adjugate's determinant, is more than 1e-15 times the largest of the six
products that determinant sums. The adjugate of the adjugate is the map
times a number, so the inverse of a projection that inverts also inverts,
is stored and reads back. The adjugate's cofactors are formed with exact
products, so the inverse of that inverse gives back the original map up
to scale, within 1e-6 of each row's largest entry, and a map whose third
row is the sum of its first two is still refused.

Homography::conjugated and Node::transform_projection judged the affine
map by an absolute determinant of 1e-15, so a scale by 1e-8 left type and
symbol instances in perspective with their old projection. Both now use
Homography::affine_is_invertible, which compares the determinant with
the two products it sums at any scale of the map. An affine map whose
determinant or inverse is not finite, such as a scale by 1e200 or
1e-200, is inverted through Homography::inverse. When the direct product
underflows to a map that is not invertible, as for a projection stored
at a subnormal scale, conjugated forms it again with its powers of two
kept apart.
