Feature #18551: Make Range#reverse_each to raise an exception if endless
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18551

Currently, `Range#reverse_each` for an endless range never returns.

```
% ruby -e '(1..).reverse_each { }'
# never return ...
```

(This is because `Enumerable#reverse_each` tries `#to_a` and `#to_a` for an endless range comes into an infinite loop.)

I think `Range#reverse_each` for an endless range should raise an exception, similar to `Range#each` for a beginless range.

```
% ruby -e '(..1).each { }' 
-e:1:in `each': can't iterate from NilClass (TypeError)
	from -e:1:in `<main>'
```
