Fix llvm::huge_valf multiple initialization (VC)

 llvm::huge_valf is defined in a header file, so it is initialized multiple
times in every compiled unit upon program startup.  With non-VC
compilers huge_valf  is set to a HUGE_VALF which the compiler can probably
optimize out.

With VC numeric_limits<float>::infinity() does not return a number but a
runtime structure member which therotically may change between calls so the
compiler does not optimize out the initialization and it happens many
times. It can be easily seen by placing a breakpoint on the initialization
line.

This patch moves llvm::huge_valf  initialization to a source file instead
of the header.
