The array-based variant of width_bucket() has always accepted NaN inputs, treating them as equal but larger than any non-NaN, as we do in ordinary comparisons. But up to now, the four-argument variants threw errors for a NaN operand. This is inconsistent and unnecessary, since we can perfectly well regard NaN as falling after the last bucket. We do still throw error for NaN or infinity histogram-bound inputs, since there's no way to compute sensible bucket boundaries. Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack of field complaints I'm content to fix it in master.
