Change the behaviour of `math.pow(0.0, -math.inf)` and `math.pow(-0.0, -math.inf)` to return positive infinity instead of raising `ValueError`. This makes `math.pow` consistent with the built-in `pow` (and the `**` operator) for this particular special case, and brings the `math.pow` special-case handling into compliance with IEEE 754.
This commit reverts commit ac0333e1e1 as the original links are working again and they provide extended features such as comments and alternative versions.
* bpo-39648: Expand math.gcd() and math.lcm() to handle multiple arguments.
* Simplify fast path.
* Difine lcm() without arguments returning 1.
* Apply suggestions from code review

* Add math.isqrt function computing the integer square root.
* Code cleanup: remove redundant comments, rename some variables.
* Tighten up code a bit more; use Py_XDECREF to simplify error handling.
* Update Modules/mathmodule.c

* Add proof sketch
* Updates from review.
* Correct and expand documentation.
* Fix bad reference handling on error; make some variables block-local; other tidying.
* Style and consistency fixes.
* Add missing error check; don't try to DECREF a NULL a
* Simplify some error returns.
* Another two test cases:
- clarify that floats are rejected even if they happen to be
squares of small integers
- TypeError beats ValueError for a negative float
* Documentation and markup improvements; thanks Serhiy for the suggestions!
* Cleaner Misc/NEWS entry wording.
* Clean up (with one fix) to the algorithm explanation and proof.
* Implement math.remainder.
* Fix markup for arguments; use double spaces after period.
* Mark up function reference in what's new entry.
* Add comment explaining the calculation in the final branch.
* Fix out-of-order entry in whatsnew.
* Add comment explaining why it's good enough to compare m with c, in spite of possible rounding error.
