#11423: Make atan2(0,0) consistent

This is bad:
{{{
sage: atan2(0,0)
0
sage: atan2(0,0,hold=True)
arctan2(0, 0)
sage: atan2(0,0,hold=True).n()
ValueError: arctan2(0,0) undefined
sage: atan2(0,0,hold=True).simplify()
-----------------------------------------------------
TypeError: Error executing code in Maxima
CODE:
sage1 : atan2(0,0)$
Maxima ERROR:
atan2: atan2(0,0) is undefined.
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
}}}
Probably we should make sure that atan2(0,0) always raises an error.
Wolfram Alpha/Mathematica gives the interval from -pi to pi, which seems
as good as any answer, and who knows what others do.
