This value indicating support the IEC 60559 floating-point standard (the
Annex F of C99). If enabled, the float type characteristics matches the
IEC 60559 double format and exceptional cases for the math's functions
follow to the section F.10 of the C99 standard.

This PR updates `math.nextafter` to add a new `steps` argument. The behaviour is as though `math.nextafter` had been called `steps` times in succession.

While floor/ceil 's documentation are very precise, `truncate` was not explained. I actually had to search online to understand the difference between `truncate` and `floor` (admittedly, once I remembered that numbers are signed, and that floating numbers actually uses a bit for negation symbol instead of two complement, it became obvious)

Change the behaviour of `math.pow(0.0, -math.inf)` and `math.pow(-0.0, -math.inf)` to return positive infinity instead of raising `ValueError`. This makes `math.pow` consistent with the built-in `pow` (and the `**` operator) for this particular special case, and brings the `math.pow` special-case handling into compliance with IEEE 754.
