Modified files:
    doc/src/sgml   : syntax.sgml
    src/backend/utils/adt: float.c
    src/include    : pg_config_manual.h
    src/test/regress/expected: float4.out float8.out
    src/test/regress/sql: float4.sql float8.sql

Log message:
    Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8
    types. Update the regression tests and the documentation to reflect
    this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.

    This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
    floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
    recent thread on -hackers for more information.
