[Bf-cycles] math node limits

[Agustin Benavidez]

Hi Guys,
I also face that dealing with some effect related with long distances, i
rise the limits to +/-100K  and after played around with high values and
rendering the animation, i did't experience any problem/weirdness at all,
So here is the patch that rise those limits (for Math and VectorMath nodes):
