Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY applied to float fields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a 'bean' class with a primitive float field
2. Set to Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY
3. Convert to YAML, create new object from YAML text

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An object with the float field set to Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY
Instead, we get a type exception because the system attempted to set the field 
value to Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY.

What version of SnakeYAML are you using? On what Java version?

1.13

Please provide any additional information below. (Often a failing test is
the best way to describe the problem.)

Dear Darren,
I tried to apply your changes but I failed (lots of test failures)

Please send ALL your changes as one patch. (and check that all the tests 
succeed)

Ok, working from the trunk:  
Here is a less-intrusive solution that comes with a test, and does not 
interfere with the success of any of your existing tests.
