Fixes #250 (although the reason was not posterior version)
E_loo was giving warnings and errors in certain cases with binary x. If h(theta) is a step function and h is 0/1 binary, then when computing Pareto-k the one of the tails is likely to be just 0's. In such cases, using the same argument as for type="quantile", we can return the Pareto-k just for r. To make the function to complain less, the same approach is now used for constant, NA, NaN, and infinite x. Added also tests that these don't cause warnings.
