// __ieee754_jn(n, x), __ieee754_yn(n, x)
// floating point Bessel's function of the 1st and 2nd kind
// of order n
//
// Special cases:
//      y0(0)=y1(0)=yn(n,0) = -inf with division by zero signal;
//      y0(-ve)=y1(-ve)=yn(n,-ve) are NaN with invalid signal.
// Note 2. About jn(n,x), yn(n,x)
//      For n=0, j0(x) is called,
//      for n=1, j1(x) is called,
//      for n<x, forward recursion is used starting
//      from values of j0(x) and j1(x).
//      for n>x, a continued fraction approximation to
//      j(n,x)/j(n-1,x) is evaluated and then backward
//      recursion is used starting from a supposed value
//      for j(n,x). The resulting value of j(0,x) is
//      compared with the actual value to correct the
//      supposed value of j(n,x).
//
//      yn(n,x) is similar in all respects, except
//      that forward recursion is used for all
//      values of n>1.

// Jn returns the order-n Bessel function of the first kind.
//
// Special cases are:
//
//	Jn(n, ±Inf) = 0
//	Jn(n, NaN) = NaN
