Avoid wrong results for power() with NaN input on more platforms.
Buildfarm results show that the modern POSIX rule that 1 ^ NaN = 1 is not
honored on *BSD until relatively recently, and really old platforms don't
believe that NaN ^ 0 = 1 either. (This is unsurprising, perhaps, since
SUSv2 doesn't require either behavior.) In hopes of getting to platform
independent behavior, let's deal with all the NaN-input cases explicitly
in dpow().
Note that numeric_power() doesn't know either of these special cases.
But since that behavior is platform-independent, I think it should be
addressed separately, and probably not back-patched.
