[AutoSparkUT] Fix std variance floating overflow coverage

 worked with plain Spark. This is behavior is enabled by default but can be disabled with the config
 [`spark.rapids.sql.variableFloatAgg.enabled`](additional-functionality/advanced_configs.md#sql.variableFloatAgg.enabled).
 
+For standard deviation and variance aggregations (`stddev`, `stddev_pop`, `stddev_samp`,
+`variance`, `var_pop`, and `var_samp`) on very large finite floating-point values, the exact
+mathematical result can exceed the range of a double. In these overflow cases Spark CPU and the
+RAPIDS Accelerator may report different IEEE floating-point sentinels, such as `NaN` versus
+`+Infinity`, because partial aggregate state can be merged in a different order. `-Infinity` is
+not an expected outcome for stddev/variance over finite inputs and is not treated as an accepted
+overflow sentinel. This is limited to overflow behavior for extreme inputs; ordinary finite
+inputs should still match within normal floating-point tolerance.

 ### `0.0` vs `-0.0`
 
 Floating point allows zero to be encoded as `0.0` and `-0.0`, but the IEEE standard says that they
