vector3d scalar operator/ and operator/= no longer multiply by the inverse but use the expected division.

Browse Source 
That was a bad case of premature optimization.
Multiplication is indeed faster, but when working with floats this can introduce some rather unexpected inaccuracies.
Like x/x suddenly no longer being 1.0 (something guaranteed by division).
If someone really needs this back, then please add some new function which makes it clear we don't just have a typical division here.

--------------------------
Changes in 1.9 (not yet released)
- vector3d scalar operator/ and operator/= no longer multiply by the inverse but use the expected division.
Costs some speed, but fixes floating point troubles caused by this optimization (like x/x no longer being 1.0).
- Add equals and set_data functions to core::array for easier working with blocks of data.
- SIrrlichtCreationParameters::IgnoreInput set to false works again on X11.
Thanks @ Victor Gaydov for report + patch + very good test cases! (bug #401)
