Raise TypeError for endless non-numeric range include?
Beginless ranges previously raised TypeError for this case, except for string ranges, which had unexpected behavior:
('a'..'z').include?('ww') # false (..'z').include?('ww') # previously true, now TypeError
Use of include? with endless ranges could previously result in an infinite loop.
This splits off a range_string_cover_internal function from range_include_internal.
Fixes [Bug #18580]
