Return `true` if the specified floating point `number` has an invalid value, and `false` otherwise. An invalid floating‐point value ("signaling NaN" or "SNaN")is never the result of a valid operation ‐‐ it must be produced deliberately (i.e., by calling `bsl::numeric_limits<float>::signaling_NaN()`). If an SNaN is used in a subsequent operation, the result is undefined and may result in a hardware trap leading to a signal. Some platforms do not support signaling NaNs, especially for single‐precision floats, and will convert an SNaN to a QNaN on assignment or copy‐initialization (including argument passing). `isSignalingNan` will always return `false` on such platforms. Note that, because an SNaN is a NaN, if this method returns `true`, then `isNan(x)` will also return `true`.
