[PR] SUMPRODUCT, CORREL, PEARSON: error values instead of Infinity/NaN in the cell [poi]

pjfanning opened a new pull request, #1283:
URL: https://github.com/apache/poi/pull/1283

   Follow-up to #1281 (which fixed the same leak in `DSTDEV`/`DVAR`). Excel never stores NaN or Infinity in a cell — it reports `#NUM!`/`#DIV/0!` — and `NumberToTextConverter` renders them as `2.6965397022935E+308` / `1.7976931348623E+308`, so a leaked one also displays as garbage.
   
   - `SUMPRODUCT({1E200},{1E200})` put `Infinity` in the cell. Now `#NUM!` via `NumericFunction.checkValue`, the same as `SUM(1E308,1E308)` and `PRODUCT(1E200,1E200)` already do (`MultiOperandNumericFunction` has that check; `Sumproduct` didn't).
   - `CORREL`/`PEARSON` (same implementation) of a zero-variance array — e.g. `CORREL({1,1},{1,2})` — put `NaN` in the cell; Excel gives `#DIV/0!`. Same for fewer than two pairs, where commons-math threw and the catch-all turned it into `#N/A`.
   
   Tests: `TestSumproduct.testOverflowIsNumError`, `TestCorrel.testZeroVarianceIsDiv0`. Ran those with `TestFormulasFromSpreadsheet` locally: 402 tests, 0 failures.
