  Issue #2531: Make float-to-decimal comparisons return correct results.

  Float to decimal comparison operations now return a result based on
  the numeric values of the operands.  Decimal.__hash__ has also been
  fixed so that Decimal and float values that compare equal have equal
  hash value.

  Issue #7279:  Make comparisons involving a Decimal sNaN signal InvalidOperation.

  Issue #7279:  Make Decimal('nan') hashable.  Decimal('snan') remains unhashable.

  Also rewrite the Decimal __hash__ method so that it doesn't rely on
  float('inf') being valid: float('inf') could raise an exception on
  platforms not using IEEE 754 arithmetic.
