Problems with beta distrbution #161

Description

@Shimuuar

Test for quantile inverse fails spectacularly:

      Quantile is CDF inverse: FAIL
        *** Failed! Falsified (after 99 tests):

        Use --quickcheck-replay=315907 to reproduce.

This is really bug in incompleteBeta and/or invIncompleteBeta. Actual roundtrip error is so bad: 1e13 larger that expected that there's no point in clearing
