VAX: code changes for VAX floats

Mainly to avoid Inf and NaN, which VAX does does not have.

There is something like Inf called "excess" but that is
a deadly exception, seems to manifest itself in vax-netbsd
either as a SIGFPE or SIGSEGV (pretty much untrappable at
least from Perl level).

The range of VAX floats is different from IEEE.

There is positive zero, but no negative zero.
