Tim Düsterhus 13b82eef84 random: Randomizer::getFloat(): Fix check for empty open intervals (#10185)
* random: Randomizer::getFloat(): Fix check for empty open intervals

The check for invalid parameters for the IntervalBoundary::OpenOpen variant was
not correct: If two consecutive doubles are passed as parameters, the resulting
interval is empty, resulting in an uint64 underflow in the γ-section
implementation.

Instead of checking whether `$min < $max`, we must check that there is at least
one more double between `$min` and `$max`, i.e. it must hold that:

	nextafter($min, $max) != $max

Instead of duplicating the comparatively complicated and expensive `nextafter`
logic for a rare error case we instead return `NAN` from the γ-section
implementation when the parameters result in an empty interval and thus underflow.

This allows us to reliably detect this specific error case *after* the fact,
but without modifying the engine state. It also provides reliable error
reporting for other internal functions that might use the γ-section
implementation.

* random: γ-section: Also check that that min is smaller than max

This extends the empty-interval check in the γ-section implementation with a
check that min is actually the smaller of the two parameters.

* random: Use PHP_FLOAT_EPSILON in getFloat_error.phpt
