New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org>:

While debugging a GCC regression (*) on "HUGE_VAL * 0" used by Py_NAN macro, I 
noticed that Python can now C99 "NAN" constant.

(*) https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104389

In bpo-45440, I already removed legacy code for pre-C99 support and old 
platforms:

"Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing the 
following functions: copysign(), hypot(), isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), 
round()."

Attached patch modifies Py_NAN to simply reuse NAN.

mathmodule.c and cmathmodule.c m_nan() still use _Py_dg_stdnan() by default (if 
PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR is not defined).
