This introduces a backwards incompatibility, as initialization of larger values will fail now.
Wouldn't it be better to normalize the global_shift rather than fail?
Also, should this behavior be consistent for all the pow gates?

#7057 will fix this in a consistent and backwards-compatible way.

Fix #6764
Add global_shift parameter validation in eigen gate init plus test.
Range is currently set to (-2,2), though issue comment mentions [0,2).
Also another comment mentions the value could be symbolic, but the current code seems to expect plain float only.
