[issue32978] Issues with reading large float values in AIFC files

[Serhiy Storchaka]

I'm fine with an OverflowError, but it looks inconsistent to me that for some huge values an OverflowError is not raised, but aifc._HUGE_VAL is returned instead. And I think that using math.ldexp() can be more preferable that pow(2.0, ...), especially for exponent around sys.float_info.max_exp and sys.float_info.min_exp.
