This PR updates `math.nextafter` to add a new `steps` argument. The behaviour is as though `math.nextafter` had been called `steps` times in succession.

This PR removes `_Py_dg_stdnan` and `_Py_dg_infinity` in favour of
using the standard `NAN` and `INFINITY` macros provided by C99.
This change has the side-effect of fixing a bug on MIPS where the
hard-coded value used by `_Py_dg_stdnan` gave a signalling NaN
rather than a quiet NaN.

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.
In math_2(), the first PyFloat_AsDouble() call should be checked
for failure before the second call.

* 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
* Add fast path for small inputs. Needs tests.
* Speed up isqrt for n >= 2**64 as well; add extra tests.
* Reduce number of test-cases to avoid dominating the run-time of test_math.
* Don't perform unnecessary extra iterations when computing c_bit_length.
* Abstract common uint64_t code out into a separate function.
* Cleanup.
* Add a missing Py_DECREF in an error branch. More cleanup.
* Update Modules/mathmodule.c
Add missing `static` declaration to helper function.

The overflow check was relying on undefined behaviour as it was using the result of the multiplication to do the check, and once the overflow has already happened, any operation on the result is undefined behaviour.
Some extra checks that exercise code paths related to this are also added.
