Three more: in qobject-input-visitor.c's

This one is interesting, as it properly bails out when parsing "inf"
(via isFinite()). - should we do the same for the string input visitor?

Especially, should we forbid "inf" and "NaN" in both scenarios?

JSON can't represent non-finite doubles. Internally, we might be able to use them, but you have a point that consistently rejecting non-finite in all of our QAPI parsers makes it easier to reason about the code base (the command line can't be used to inject a value not possible via QMP). So that makes sense to me. qemu_strtod() shouldn't reject non-finite numbers (because it is useful for more than just qapi), but we could add a new qemu_strtod_finite() if that would help avoid duplication.
