* Returns the differential entropy of a Student's t distribution.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   If provided `v < 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
*
* @param v - degrees of freedom
* @returns entropy
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 9.0 );
* // returns ~1.533
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 2.0 );
* // returns ~1.96
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( -0.2 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( NaN );
* // returns NaN
