Regression: 'inf' token no longer converted to float

[staadecker]

Summary

Previously, loading a CSV through the data portal containing a cell with value inf would result in a float. Now, inf stays as a string which results in an error when the domain is checked.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Create a csv file with one if it's cells having inf as a value.

2. Load the csv through the DataPortal.

3. If the parameter belonging to that cell has domain NonNegativeReals an error will be thrown.

Faulty code

This is the PR and lines of codes changed that introduced this regression

@staadecker - Could you please try this again? We are going through old bug reports to confirm that they still exist.

Hi, I unfortunately don't have time to test this however I assume it is still an issue. The ability specify inf in the input csv is quite helpful since later one can not apply a constraint if the value of a parameter is inf. Feel free to close the issue if this is not a priority
