It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

The ISO 8601 standard does not mandate any specific precision for
fractional seconds, so this accepts input of any length, ignoring the
part after the nanoseconds place. It may be more correct to round with
the tenths of nanoseconds digit, but then we'd have to deal with
carrying the round through the entire Tm struct (e.g. for a time like
Dec 31 11:59.999999999999).
%f is the format specifier that Python's datetime library uses for
0-padded microseconds so it seemed appropriate here.

Basically, generic containers should not use the default methods since a
type of elements may not guarantees total order. str could use them
since u8's Ord guarantees total order. Floating point numbers are also
broken with the default methods because of NaN. Thanks for @thestinger.
Timespec also guarantees total order AIUI. I'm unsure whether
extra::semver::Identifier does so I left it alone. Proof needed.

Renamed bytes_iter to byte_iter to match other iterators
Refactored str Iterators to use DoubleEnded Iterators and typedefs instead of wrapper structs
Reordered the Iterator section
Whitespace fixup
Moved clunky `each_split_within` function to the one place in the tree where it's actually needed
Replaced all block doccomments in str with line doccomments
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use
the operator instead.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.
This reverts commit 96cd61ad03.
