5.24.26  Simplify and express preferentially with tangents: trigtan

trigtan takes as argument an expression containing trigonometric functions.
trigtan simplifies this expression with the formula:
sin(x)2+cos(x)2=1, tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) and tries to rewrite the expression only with tangents.
Input:

trigtan(sin(x)^4+cos(x)^2+1)

Output:

((tan(x))^2/(1+(tan(x))^2))^2+1/(1+(tan(x)^2)+1

Output, after simplification with normal:

(2*tan(x)^4+3*tan(x)^2+2)/(tan(x)^4+2*tan(x))^2+1)
