This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

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

This is for consistency in naming conventions.
- ``std::num::Float::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``;
- ``std::num::Float.is_NaN()`` is changed to ``is_nan()``; and
- ``std::num::strconv::NumStrConv::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``.
Fixes#9319.
This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
Also shuffles around the organization of numeric literals and types,
separating by int/uint/float instead of machine-vs-non-machine types.
This simplifies some code.
