Reject non-finite reltuples when restoring stats

When restoring relation stats, pg_restore_relation_stats() rejected
calls with (reltuples < -1.0). But that is insufficient - Infinity and
NaN values both pass that check, and get stored in pg_class verbatim.
This can have various undesirable consequences.

Fixed by rejecting non-finite reltuple values, in the same non-fatal way
as for the existing checks (emit WARNING and skip the update). Adds a
regression test to stats_import for these non-finite values, and to
check the -1.0 special value is still accepted.

Backpatch to 18, where pg_restore_relation_stats() was introduced.

Patch by Jan Nidzwetzki, minor commit message tweaks by me.
