[PyPy-issue] [issue534] float('inf') works (generates an inf NAN) in CPython 2.5.5, reports ValueError: invalid literal for float() in PyPy 1.2

Looks like we just need a special case in pypy.objspace.std.strutil, CPython also 
allows NaN and Infinity. all are matched case insensitively and all support 
negation.
