Reject non-finite transformation scales.

When transform_scale is float("nan") or float("inf"), this check accepts it. timestep_transform then produces NaN timesteps, including at the first inference step. Require a finite, positive scale when transformation is enabled. As per path instructions, “Review the Python code for quality and correctness.”

Review comment at @monai/networks/schedulers/rectified_flow.py at line 177:
Update the scale validation guarded by use_timestep_transform to reject
non-finite values as well as values less than or equal to zero, so
timestep_transform only receives a finite, positive transform_scale.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Add a docstring to test_non_positive_transform_scale at line 146.

The definition at line 146 has no docstring. The **/*.py instruction requires docstrings for all definitions, and it names no exception for tests. The method does not raise ValueError. It catches the error with assertRaises, so the docstring should not include a Raises section.

Add a docstring to test_non_positive_transform_scale describing the tested
behavior for non-positive transform scales with and without timestep transforms;
do not include a Raises section because the test handles the expected ValueError
with assertRaises.
