Revert back-branch changes in power()'s behavior for NaN inputs.

Per discussion, the value of fixing these bugs in the back branches
doesn't outweigh the downsides of changing corner-case behavior in
a minor release.  Hence, revert commits 217d8f3a1 and 4d864de48 in
the v10 branch and the corresponding commits in 9.3-9.6.
