Keith Randall 2aa7c6c548 cmd/compile: don't allow NaNs in floating-point constant ops
We store 32-bit floating point constants in a 64-bit field, by
converting that 32-bit float to 64-bit float to store it, and convert
it back to use it.

That works for *almost* all floating-point constants. The exception is
signaling NaNs. The round trip described above means we can't represent
a 32-bit signaling NaN, because conversions strip the signaling bit.

To fix this issue, just forbid NaNs as floating-point constants in SSA
form. This shouldn't affect any real-world code, as people seldom
constant-propagate NaNs (except in test code).

Additionally, NaNs are somewhat underspecified (which of the many NaNs
do you get when dividing 0/0?), so when cross-compiling there's a
danger of using the compiler machine's NaN regime for some math, and
the target machine's NaN regime for other math. Better to use the
target machine's NaN regime always.

This has been a bug since 1.10, and there's an easy workaround
(declare a global varaible containing the signaling NaN pattern, and
use that as the argument to math.Float32frombits) so we'll fix it in
1.15.

Fixes #36400
Update #36399
