bpo-44339: Fix math.pow corner case to comply with IEEE 754 (GH-26606)
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.

Mark Dickinson 66bada5653 Quick fix for test_math failures on Solaris 10 buildbot. For future
reference, note that that asin(float('inf')) doesn't seem to return the
expected NaN on this platform.

Mark Dickinson a0de26c342 Make floating-point exception error messages slightly more verbose: in
particular, the error message now allows one to distinguish between a
ValueError arising from a singularity (e.g. log(0.)), which would
usually produce +-infinity in non-stop mode, and a ValueError resulting
from an invalid input (e.g. sqrt(-1.)), which would normally produce a
NaN in non-stop mode.

  I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.

  The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

  Stupid me. Py_RETURN_NAN should actually return something ...
