[issue42323] [AIX] test_math: test_nextafter(float('nan'), 1.0) does not return a NaN on AIX

If AIX were one of our officially supported platforms, then yes, I'd say that we should add a workaround to handle special cases ourselves, similarly to what we already do for a number of math module functions (like math.pow, for example).

But given that it's only a "best effort" platform, I'm not convinced that it's worth the effort or the extra complication in the codebase.

-0 from me, I guess.
