This fixes the MATLAB roots function to work with poorly scaled polynomials. For example,
c = 10.^(20:-1:0);
x = roots(c); max(abs(polyval(c,x))) % 7.647251195518823e-08
x = roots_(c); max(abs(polyval(c,x))) % 7.257804400984254e-14
This also fixes the MATLAB roots function to work with small roots. For example, roots([1,1,1,1e-32]) incorrectly gives a root of exact zero. roots_([1,1,1,1e-32]) gives the correct root of -1e-32.
