Allow parsing +inf for floating point types
Allow to parse +inf for floating point types. This closes #1839 #10272 (alexey-milovidov)Why it matters
This feature addresses the limitation where the string+inf was previously not recognized as a valid input for floating point columns. By allowing +inf to be parsed, it improves compatibility with data sources and standards that represent positive infinity explicitly with a plus sign, enhancing data import flexibility and correctness.How to use it
Users can now use+inf directly in input data or queries when inserting or importing floating point values. No additional configuration is required, as this support is enabled by default in the parsing logic.
