in one of the earth functions so that latitude and longitude to
cartesian coordinates conversion will be more accurrate. (Previously
a text string was built to provide as input which limited the accuracy
to the number of digits printed.)

The new functions were included in a recent patch to contrib/cube that has not
as yet been accepted as of yet.

I also added check constraints to the domain 'earth' since they are now
working in 7.4.
