Default JSFX: Imprecise $phi value (FIXED)

In JSFX the $phi constant seems to have "only" 9 decimals, but for it to be precise at 64-bit double floating point it would need 17 decimals.

Code:
desc:what the phi?!

@init

y1 = $phi; // 1.61803399
x1 = sqr(y1 * 2 - 1); // Not exactly 5

y2 = (sqrt(5) + 1) / 2;
x2 = sqr(y2 * 2 - 1); // 5

y3 = 1.6180339887498948;
x3 = sqr(y3 * 2 - 1); // 5

@gfx

gfx_x = gfx_y = 8;
gfx_a = gfx_r = 1; gfx_g = gfx_b = 0;
gfx_printf("%1.16e %1.16e\n", y1, x1); gfx_y += 2;
gfx_r = 0; gfx_g = 1;
gfx_printf("%1.16e %1.16e\n", y2, x2); gfx_y += 2;
gfx_printf("%1.16e %1.16e\n", y3, x3); gfx_y += 2;
Tested in REAPER 5.9x i386 and x86-64 on macOS 10.13.

Not at all important of course, but now that I know: It itches.
