>   Ignore angle mode while simplifying units
Yes, my commit produced this bug.  We must revert it.  Sorry for that.
That commit was to fix Bug#23889.  It would be nice if we can fix Bug#23889 in
a new way.
In that bug the problem was that, if the user inputs a symbolic expression containning
an angle unit, then this unit is overriden by calc-angle-mode while simplifying such
expression.
That should not happen as mentioned in the manual:
(info "(calc) Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions")

That is,
M-x calc RET
m d ; Set calc-angle-mode to degrees.
' sin (45 deg) RET
u s ; Must insert the value of:  (sin (* 45 pi (/ 180.0)))
;; But instead, inserts the value of: (sin (* 45 (expt (/ pi 180.0) 2)))
;; i.e., it's applying (/ pi 180) twice.

I have updated the patch:
1) Revert 713e922243

2) Bind calc-angle-mode to 'rad while simplifying an expression whenever such
expression contains an unit angle.  This way, hopefully, the second factor (/ pi 180)
won't be applied.

Opinions, comments...

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Prevent from override input angle unit while simplifying

Ignore calc-angle-mode while simplifying if the expression
contains angle units (Bug#23899).

(math-simplify): If TOP-EXPR contains angle units, then bind
calc-angle-mode to 'rad.
