Remove underflow error in float division with infinite divisor.

float4_div and float8_div correctly produced zero for zero divided
by infinity, but threw an underflow error for nonzero finite values
divided by infinity.  This seems wrong; at the very least it's
inconsistent with the behavior recently implemented for numeric
infinities.  Remove the error and allow zero to be returned.

This patch also removes a useless isinf() test from the overflow
checks in these functions (non-Inf divided by Inf can't produce Inf).

Extracted from a larger patch; this seems significant outside the
context of geometric operators, so it deserves its own commit.
