Fix numeric width_bucket() to allow its first argument to be infinite.

While the calculation is not well-defined if the bounds arguments are
infinite, there is a perfectly sane outcome if the test operand is
infinite: it's just like any other value that's before the first bucket
or after the last one.  width_bucket_float8() got this right, but
I was too hasty about the case when adding infinities to numerics
(commit a57d312a7), so that width_bucket_numeric() just rejected it.
Fix that, and sync the relevant error message strings.

No back-patch needed, since infinities-in-numeric haven't shipped yet.
