This has been verified by kani as a correct optimization
see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/110840#issuecomment-1942587398
The new implementation is branchless, and only differs in which NaN
values are produced (if any are produced at all). Which is fine to change.
Aside from NaN handling, this implementation produces bitwise identical
results to the original implementation.
The new implementation is gated on targets that have a fast 64-bit
floating point implementation in hardware, and on WASM.
