Description
### Description
**Description**
The JavaScript implementation of `@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/quantile` depends on `@stdlib/math/base/special/betaincinv`.
However, there is no C implementation of betaincinv, making it impossible to implement quantile in C.
We need to add a C implementation of betaincinv, which can be used for quantile.
**Potential approaches:**
Use an existing numerical method (e.g., Newton-Raphson, Bisection).
Wrap an existing GSL or Cephes library function.
**Why This Matters**
This is a blocking issue for the C implementation of `@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/quantile`
The lack of betaincinv in C prevents further progress.
**Checklist**
✅ I have checked that betaincinv does not have a C implementation.
✅ This issue is required for completing @stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/quantile.
✅ I am open to suggestions on how to implement it.
