Adding a special case for floats that are passed the strings "nan" or "inf" #257

A case could be made for or against this, but we had a situation where dacite was being used to import data from a JSON file. Since JSON doesn't support INF and NAN as numeric values, from_dict was failing if those values were passed as strings.
