Numeric Infinity (1/0) turns into "0" when saving to sb2 format

Expected Behavior

In scratch 2: You should be able to save the value (1/0) (constructed using the () / () operator block). The value is listed as Infinity in the list or variable.

Actual Behavior

In scratch 2: You cannot save the value (1/0) (constructed using the () / () operator block). The value is listed as Infinity, then is turned into 0 in the sb2 creation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Either: a. Create a variable. b. Give the variable the value (1/0) (using the () / () operator block) using the set () to () block.
2. Or: a. Create a list. b. Add the value (1/0) (using the () / () operator block) to the list using the add () to () block.
3. Notice that the number shows up as Infinity in the visual representation of the list or variable.
4. Save the project and download the program.
5. Exit the window.
6. Notice: a. The value has turned to 0 b. If you inspect the project.json, the value there is 0 as well

This may or may not be a compatibility issue with scratch 3.

For some more context, this actually is a problem for saving scratch3 projects:

In Scratch3, the variable gets serialized using JSON.stringify, which does not work with values like Infinity or NaN (see here for why), so they get serialized to null, which then makes the parser fail. that makes the project not loadable by file input, and cannot be saved on the server because validation fails (null is not a number or string).

But then Infinity and NaN get weird when stored… why not use a custom serializer or at least a third-party one that handles such values properly?
