(Primitive Numerics): Add atan2, pow, asinh, acosh

Browse source 
and atanh to scheme<->C table.  Note asinh, acosh and atanh are C99,
and scm_asinh, scm_acosh and scm_atanh are equivalents.  Cross ref
glibc "Mathematics".  Reword this end part for clarity.

For the hyperbolic arc-functions, the Guile library exports C functions
corresponding to these Scheme procedures, but taking and returning
arguments of type @code{double} rather than the usual @code{SCM}.
@deftypefn {C Function} double scm_asinh (double x)
@deftypefnx {C Function} double scm_acosh (double x)
@deftypefnx {C Function} double scm_atanh (double x)
Return the hyperbolic arcsine, arccosine or arctangent of @var{x}
respectively.
@end deftypefn
For all the other Scheme procedures above, except @code{expt} and
@code{atan2} (whose entries specifically mention an equivalent C
function), the equivalent C functions are those provided by the standard
mathematics library. The mapping is as follows.
C functions for the above are provided by the standard mathematics
library. Naturally these expect and return @code{double} arguments

Naturally, these C functions expect and return @code{double} arguments.
@code{asinh}, @code{acosh} and @code{atanh} are C99 standard but might
not be available on older systems. Guile provides the following
equivalents (on all systems).
