Infinity and NaN #7

Description

The file openmath-spec.litcoffee says:

Floats can't have keys other than t and v, and their values must be numbers
passing `isFinite` and failing `isNaN`.
            expect( OMNode.checkJSON { t : 'f', v : -15.9, x : 'thing' } ) \
                .toMatch /Key x not valid in object of type f/
            expect( OMNode.checkJSON { t : 'f', v : '-15.9' } ) \
                .toMatch /Not a number: -15\.9 of type string/
            expect( OMNode.checkJSON { t : 'f', v : Infinity } ) \
                .toMatch /OpenMath floats must be finite/
            expect( OMNode.checkJSON { t : 'f', v : -Infinity } ) \
                .toMatch /OpenMath floats must be finite/
            expect( OMNode.checkJSON { t : 'f', v : NaN } ) \
                .toMatch /OpenMath floats cannot be NaN/

but infinity and NaN are supported both by Javascript and by OpenMath, hence also
openmath-js should support them.
