Add more methods from num_traits::Float

[jannschu]

There are a couple of occasions where I regularly have to add an additional num_traits::Float bound.

Methods I need from num_traits::Float include the following:

• min_positive_value
• is_nan
• nan
• infinity and neg_infinity
• max and min with the NaN semantics
• copysign

Is the RealField suitable for these methods or is it intended to be more abstract, i.e., it not necessarily represents these floating point semantics?

For what it is worth, here is what I am using for is_nan to avoid adding this bound:

#[inline]
fn is_nan<R: RealField>(x: R) -> bool {
    let zero = R::zero();
    if x < zero {
        false
    } else {
        if x >= zero {
            false
        } else {
            true
        }
    }
}

same but more succinct

#[inline]
fn is_nan<R: RealField>(x: R) -> bool {
    x.partial_cmp(&R::zero()).is_none()
}

Thanks @lelongg . Also clippy does not complain about your version.
