Fix for [#36610] The new sky model produces strange results

* Clamp theta sky coordinates, to prevent a negative solarElevation. 

Note: This means that you cannot get absolute night with the new model, but this is not supported anyway. So when you reach the maximum sunset, use the World Strength to further decrease the light.
