Calc: fix binomial coefficients for negative arguments (bug#16999)
For some values outside integers 0≤k≤n, (n choose k) gave wrong
results, entered infinite recursion or used unreasonably amounts of
stack space. This change fixes that and extends the function to all
integer arguments using the definitions from M. J. Kronenburg
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3689).
* lisp/calc/calc-comb.el (calcFunc-choose):
Fix sign error to prevent infinite recursion and extend function to
handle all integer arguments.
(math-choose-iter, math-choose-float-iter): Rewrite in iterative form;
no TCO in elisp yet.
* test/lisp/calc/calc-tests.el (calc-tests--fac, calc-tests--choose)
(calc-tests--check-choose, calc-tests--explain-choose)
(calc-tests--calc-to-number): New helper functions.
(calc-choose): New test.
