Added support for infinite and nan floats/doubles (#215)

- Added support for the custom double values from
   the protobuf json spec: "Infinity", "-Infinity", and "NaN"
- Added `infinite_floats` test data
- Updated Message.__eq__ to consider nan values
   equal
- Updated `test_message_json` and
   `test_binary_compatibility` to replace NaN float
   values in dictionaries before comparison
   (because two NaN values are not equal)
