I didn't realize that we now allow stepping with a '0' step. It should probably have been mentioned in the NEWS of 2.1.0?

Anyways, couple of bugs with that new feature:

    bn = 1 << 100
    bn.step(by: 0, to: bn).first(2) # => [bn, bn] ok
    bn.step(by: 0).first(2)         # => [bn.to_f, bn.to_f] not ok
    bn.step(by: 0, to: 0).first(2)  # => [] not ok

The corresponding `size` don't all work either:

    bn.step(by: 0) # => Float::INFINITY, ok
    bn.step(by: 0, to: bn).size # => ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0, should be infinity
    bn.step(by: 0, to: 0).size  # => same
    1.step(by:0, to: 42).size   # => same

My patch is almost finished.
