SPC018908: Disallow usage of NaN directly

Quote from ESLint 'In JavaScript, NaN is a special value of the Number type. It's used to represent any of the "not-a-number" values represented by the double-precision 64-bit format as specified by the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. NaN has the unique property of not being equal to anything, including itself. That is to say, that the condition NaN !== NaN evaluates to true.'
