Bug summary

It looks like, for some inputs, split_bezier_intersecting_with_closedpath never returns, as the while True: loop inside find_bezier_t_intersecting_with_closedpath fails to converge.

Code for reproduction

from matplotlib.patches import inside_circle, split_bezier_intersecting_with_closedpath

arrow_path = [(96950809781500.0, 804.7503795623779), (96950809781500.0, 859.6242585800646), (96950809781500.0, 914.4981375977513)]
in_f = inside_circle(96950809781500.0, 804.7503795623779, 0.06)
split_bezier_intersecting_with_closedpath(arrow_path, in_f)

Actual outcome

The call to split_bezier_intersecting_with_closedpath never returns.

Expected outcome

The call to split_bezier_intersecting_with_closedpath should return the split segment.
