Math riemProj name is not accurate #28154

Description

@lydia-duncan

Damian mentioned offline that the C function cproj (which our riemProj function is built using) has recently changed its definition. The description for the change states that the Riemann sphere is a mathematically related topic but that it is not the subject of the cproj functions. The new description removes references to the Riemann sphere and Damian says it's been approved for C26. The functions' behavior is unchanged.

I don't know that our version of the function is heavily used, but the name no longer having a clear connection to the C function on which it relies is probably something we should address. We should also make sure the documentation is similarly updated to be in line with the implementation.
