LingMan fd21df7182 Fix naming format of IEEE 754 standard
Currently the documentation of f64::min refers to "IEEE-754 2008" while the documentation of
f64::minimum refers to "IEEE 754-2019".
Note that one has the format IEEE,hyphen,number,space,year while the other is
IEEE,space,number,hyphen,year. The official IEEE site [1] uses the later format and it is also the
one most commonly used throughout the codebase.

Update all comments and - more importantly - documentation to consistently use the official format.

Equivalent to C's float type.

This type will almost always be [f32], which is guaranteed to be an IEEE 754 single-precision float in Rust. That said, the standard technically only guarantees that it be a floating-point number, and it may have less precision than f32 or not follow the IEEE-754 standard at all.
