[3.6] bpo-31373: remove overly strict float range checks (GH-3486) by benjaminp · Pull Request #3495 · python/cpython

This undoes a853a8b except for the pytime.c
parts. We want to continue to allow IEEE 754 doubles larger than FLT_MAX to be
rounded into finite floats. Tests were added to very this behavior.
