[Proj] rHEALPix bug & bug fix

[Michael Speth]

Greetings,
   We have discovered a bug in the rHEALPix projection that causes lon/lat's in the polar regions to be incorrectly projected if the polar regions are shifted.  I have written detailed documentation on the bug, so please reference this for more information.  I have created a patch that fixes the bug as well as provides the test plan and supporting source.  I have also made available the binaries for running the tests for the HEALPix and rHEALPix projections (64-bit).  To test the bug, I've included the source to a standalone C application with an included script that should compile on a 32-bit or 64-bit system.
