Additional Math functions

[C. Scott Ananian]

Aren't there limits to the number of arguments you can pass to a ES
function before getting a stack overflow?

I've gotten in trouble trying to abuse the `arguments` array like this
before, for example `Math.max.apply(Math, someVeryLargeArray)`.

Empirically, with iojs 1.8.1:
```
> Math.max.apply(Math, new Array(100000))
NaN
> Math.max.apply(Math, new Array(1000000))
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
```
I suppose it would be nice if JavaScript engines fell back to passing
arguments on the heap to avoid this problem, but I don't think that's part
of the ES6 spec.  Am I mistaken?

If we're going to add math functions to the standard library, my vote would
be for
