Fix T78324: Different Sky Texture results between CPU and GPU
The problem here was numerical precision: The code calculates the angle between
sun and view direction, and the usual acos(dot(a, b)) approach for that has
poor numerical performance for almost parallel angles.
As a result, the generally tiny difference between floating point computation
between CPU and GPU was enough to make the sun vanish at different radii,
causing different results.
The new version fixes the difference by making the computation much more robust
on both platforms.
