Fix crash in close_ps() for NaN input coordinates.
The Assert() here seems unreasonably optimistic. Andreas Seltenreich found that it could fail with NaNs in the input geometries, and it seems likely to me that it might fail in corner cases due to roundoff error, even for ordinary input values. As a band-aid, make the function return SQL NULL instead of crashing. Report: <87d1md1xji.fsf@credativ.de>
