Ensure NIF term creation disallows illegal values
Add a check to enif_make_double to see if its double argument is infinity or NaN, returning a badarg exception if it is. Change the erl_nif documentation to specify that enif_make_double returns a badarg exception if its double argument is either infinity or NaN. Add tests to nif_SUITE for this change. Add checks to the enif_make* functions for atoms to prevent the creation of atoms whose name lengths are greater than the allowed maximum atom length. The enif_make_atom and enif_make_atom_len functions now return a badarg exception if the input string is too long. The enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_existing_atom_len functions return false if the input string is too long. Change the erl_nif documentation to reflect the changes to these functions. Add tests to nif_SUITE for these changes. Add a field to ErlNifEnv to track that a NIF has raised an exception via enif_make_badarg. If a NIF calls enif_make_badarg but then ignores its return value and instead tries to return a non-exception term as its return value, the runtime still raises a badarg. This is needed to prevent enif_make_badarg values resulting from calls to enif_make_double, enif_make_atom, or enif_make_atom_len from being erroneously stored within other terms and returned from a NIF. Calling enif_make_badarg but not returning its return value has been documented as being illegal ever since enif_make_badarg was added, but the runtime has not enforced it until now. Add tests for regular and dirty NIFs to ensure that calls to enif_make_badarg result in badarg exceptions even if a NIF fails to return the result of enif_make_badarg as its return value. Add documentation to enif_make_badarg to specify that calling it raises a badarg even if a NIF ignores its return value.
