Improve solveCubic accuracy #27347

### Pull Request Readiness Checklist

Fix #27323 

```
2e-13 * x^3 + x^2 - 2 * x + 1 = 0 -> x^3 + 5e12 * x^2 - 1e13 * x + 5e12 = 0
```

The problem that coefficients have quite big magnitudes and current calculations are subject to round-off error

```
Q = (a1 * a1 - 3 * a2) * (1./9)
R = (2 * a1 * a1 * a1 - 9 * a1 * a2 + 27 * a3) * (1./54)
Qcubed = Q * Q * Q = a1^6/729 - (a1^4 a2)/81 + (a1^2 a2^2)/27 - a2^3/27
R * R = R^2 = a1^6/729 - (a1^4 a2)/81 + (a1^2 a2^2)/36 + (a1^3 a3)/27 - (a1 a2 a3)/6 + a3^2/4
d = Qcubed - R * R
```

Let `a1`, `a2`, `a3` have quite big same magnitudes, then we see that `Qcubed` and `R * R` have same terms `a1^6/729` and `-(a1^4 a2)/81` (which will be reduced in `d`), but they level out the other terms (these terms have `6`th and `5`th degree and other terms - less or equal than `4`th degree).
So, if these terms will participate in the calculation, this will lead to a huge round-off error.
But if we expand the expression, then round-off error should be less
```
d = Qcubed - R * R = 1/108 (a1^2 a2^2 - 4 a2^3 - 4 a1^3 a3 + 18 a1 a2 a3 - 27 a3^2)
```
