#1142: GeoJSON reader cannot read null coordinates

 The GeoJSON writer writes NaN coordinates to null.

 {{{
 >>> pygeos.to_geojson(pygeos.Geometry("LINESTRING (1 nan, 2 2)"))
 '{"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[1.0,null],[2.0,2.0]]}'
 }}}

 The inverse operation however does not work:

 {{{
 >>>
 pygeos.from_geojson('{"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[1.0,null],[2.0,2.0]]}')
 GEOSException: ParseException: Error parsing JSON:
 '[json.exception.type_error.302] type must be number, but is null'
 }}}

 There is a lot to say about allowing nan coordinates at all, but as they
 are allowed now and the writer handles them properly, I would expect the
 reader handles them as well.
