The three active Windows animals all seem happy with INFINITY,
ditto Solaris and derivatives.  So I'll proceed with changing
the NAN support similarly.

As a side note: I realized while researching the commit history
that there are copies of get_float8_infinity and get_float8_nan
in src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/data.c.  Will take care of those
while at it, and maybe put in a cross-reference to help the
next hacker.
