Bug description:  Cannot serialize/unserialize non-finite numeric values

Description:
------------
It appears that unserialize() does not unserialize 

numerics that are "non-finite", such as NAN and INF. 

Instead, it simply fails and returns (bool)false. 

 

If a NAN value is encountered anywhere during an 

unserialize() (for example, in an array or an object), the 

entire operation fails and unserialize will return false. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$testNan = (float)NAN;

var_dump($testNan); //outputs float(NAN)

$testNan2 = unserialize(serialize($testNan));

var_dump($testNan2); //outputs bool(false)



$testInf = (float)INF;

var_dump($testInf); //outputs float(INF)

$testInf2 = unserialize(serialize($testInf));

var_dump($testInf2); //outputs bool(false)

Expected result:
----------------
float(NAN) 

float(NAN) 

float(INF) 

float(INF) 

Actual result:
--------------
float(NAN) 

bool(false) 

float(INF) 

bool(false)
