Properly handle inf, nan, and built-in numeric types.

This commit also:

- Dramatically increases the number of unit tests , mostly by borrowing
  from the standard  library's unit tests for math.isclose().

- Refactors approx() into two classes, one of which handles comparing
  individual numbers (ApproxNonIterable) and another which uses the
  first to compare individual numbers or sequences of numbers.
