pp_ncmp: favour the non- Perl_isnan route
Currently pp_ncmp(), when comparing two NVs, prefers to check its two args for NaNness first, and if either of them are, then return undef. Only if Perl_isnan isn't defined does it fall back to doing three compares (<, >, =) where if all three fail it returns undef. This is in contrast to the other compare functions (e.g. pp_lt), which only use Perl_isnan if NAN_COMPARE_BROKEN is defined - i.e. they prefer to rely on the '<' (or whatever) test to handle NaNs implicitly. Change pp_ncmp to favour not using Perl_isnan(). This has two advantages: First, speed: in the normal case we replace: two function calls to Perl_isnan plus two comparisons, with: three comparisons. Second, this makes pp_ncmp more similar to the other comparison functions, allowing for code reuse in the future.
