+- Issue #5981: Fix three minor inf/nan issues in float.fromhex:
+ (1) inf and nan strings with trailing whitespace were incorrectly
+ rejected; (2) parsing of strings representing infinities and nans
+ was locale aware; and (3) the interpretation of fromhex('-nan')
+ didn't match that of float('-nan').
