Inf and NaN values fixed and printing improved. "This time for sure!"

FIXES

 This file lists all bug fixes, changes, etc., made since the AWK book
 was sent to the printers in August, 1987.
 
+December 18, 2020:
+	Fix problems converting inf and NaN values in lib.c:is_valid_number.
+	Enhance number to string conversion to do the right thing for
+	NaN and inf values.  Things are now pretty much the same as in
+	gawk.  (Found a gawk bug while we're at it.) Added a torture
+	test for these values.  Thanks to Arnold Robbins.  Allows closing
+	of PR #101.
+
 December 15, 2020:
 	Merge PR #99, which gets the right header for strcasecmp.
 	Thanks to GitHub user michaelforney.
