Json writer, only emit floating point finite numbers, ignore INF/NaN

My interpretation of RFC4627, Section 2.4 "Numbers" of:
  Numeric values that cannot be represented as sequences of digits
   (such as Infinity and NaN) are not permitted.

I have also verified this matter with NodeJS JSON.stringify() that
emitting a null is consistent behavior with a JSON implementation
written in JavaScript.

Previously Qt would emit:
{
 plusInfinity: inf,
 minusInfinity: -inf,
 notANumber: nan
}

Which maybe turned into a string values of "inf", "-inf", "nan" by
the receiving parser.  Now it returns the JSON null value just like
NodeJS JSON.stringify().
