Subject: [PATCH] common_tasks: add RADIAL_LOOP helper macro

Helps with writing radially symmetrical patterns.

Replace this:

	int cnt = 69;
	cmplx dir = initial_dir;
	cmplx turn = cdir(M_TAU/cnt);
	for(int = 0; i < cnt; ++i, dir *= turn) {
		pew_pew(dir);
	}

with this:

	RADIAL_LOOP(l, 69, initial_dir) {
		pew_pew(l.dir);
	}
