This function computes the remainder of a value `x` modulo pi/2, to high
precision.
It does this by dividing the flotaing point values into several ranges
by magnitude, and applies successively slower but more accurate algorithms.
The last two steps, one covering values up to around 2^7 * pi/2
(called "medium size") and a final one covering all possible float values,
require big tables.
By eliminating the "medium size" case, a table and some code are removed
from the binary. This makes some cases take longer, but saves hundreds
of bytes. It does _NOT_ affect the result, only the speed.
