cutils: Improve qemu_strtod* error paths

Previous patches changed all integral qemu_strto*() error paths to
guarantee that *value is never left uninitialized.  Do likewise for
qemu_strtod.  Also, tighten qemu_strtod_finite() to never return a
non-finite value (prior to this patch, we were rejecting "inf" with
-EINVAL and unspecified result 0.0, but failing "9e999" with -ERANGE
and HUGE_VAL - which is infinite on IEEE machines - despite our
function claiming to recognize only finite values).

Auditing callers, we have no external callers of qemu_strtod, and
among the callers of qemu_strtod_finite:

- qapi/qobject-input-visitor.c:qobject_input_type_number_keyval() and
  qapi/string-input-visitor.c:parse_type_number() which reject all
  errors (does not matter what we store)

- utils/cutils.c:do_strtosz() incorrectly assumes that *endptr points
  to '.' on all failures (that is, it is not distinguishing between
  EINVAL and ERANGE; and therefore still does the WRONG THING for
  "9.9e999".  The change here does not entirely fix that (a later
  patch will tackle this more systematically), but at least it fixes
  the read-out-of-bounds first diagnosed in
  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1629

- our testsuite, which we can update to match what we document
