More robust implementation of PMComplex >> sqrt #257

Description

@olekscode

The implementation of PMComplex >> sqrt was improved in PR #221.

However, this implementation still suffers from potential floating point overflow/underflow.
This is why I suggest something even more robust (and more accurate) like:

Implementing Complex Elementary Function Using Exception Handling
ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software - October 1994
