Fix return phase of acosh to match Matlab (bug #44286). * NEWS: Announce change. * mappers.cc (Facosh): Add BIST tests for new behavior. * lo-mappers.cc: Re-write expression sqrt (x*x -1.0) as sqrt (x + 1.0) * sqrt (x - 1.0) which gets phase correct if x is complex.

+ ** The hyperbolic function acosh now returns values with a phase in the range
+    [-pi/2, +pi/2].  Previously Octave returned values in the range [0, pi].

  ** strfind changes when using empty pattern ("") for Matlab compatibility
 
     strfind now returns an empty array when the pattern itself is empty.
