Cody Problems <https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/46054-count-trailing-zeros-in-a-primorial 46054> and <https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/46057-find-the-last-non-zero-digit-in-a-primorial 46057> deal with the <https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Primorial.html primorial> p_n#, which is the product of all primes up to and including the nth prime p_n. The primorials corresponding to n = 1 through 5 are 2, 6, 30, 210, and 2310. <https://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrimorialPrime.html Primorial primes> are prime numbers that are either one smaller or one larger than a primorial. Examples include 3, 5, 7, 29, 31, 211, 2309, and 2311.

Write a function to identify primorial primes and their associated primorials. Given an input |x|, return a variable |y| with one of the following values:

y = 1    if x is a primorial prime
 y = 0    if x is prime but not a primorial prime
 y = -Inf if x is composite or 1

Also return a variable |p| that is the associated primorial in the first case and |NaN| in the other two cases.
