Fix handling of NaN values in BRIN minmax multi

When calculating distance between float4/float8 values, we need to be a
bit more careful about NaN values in order not to trigger assert. We
consider NaN values to be equal (distace 0.0) and in infinite distance
from all other values.

On builds without asserts, this issue is mostly harmless - the ranges
may be merged in less efficient order, but the index is still correct.

Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Backpatch to 14, where this new
BRIN opclass was introduced.
