Allow parsing NaN, Infinity

[jobh]

The standard library JSON parser accepts NaN and Infinity float constants - which are not part of strict JSON but quite common to accept regardless.

>>> import json, json_stream
>>> json.loads(b"[NaN, Infinity, -Infinity]")
[nan, inf, -inf]
>>> list(json_stream.load([b"[NaN, Infinity, -Infinity]"]))
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Invalid JSON character: 'N' at index 1

Would it be possible to support these javascript constants in json-stream? My workaround is a sed -e 's/NaN/null/g' preprocessing step - which is acceptable for my specific use-case, but fragile.

this'd be a change to both tokenizer implementaions

the built-in json module allows these float constants

@smheidrich what do you think?

Seems reasonable 👍 I'll start working on it this weekend
