Tracking Issue for `f16` and `f128` float types

<!-- homu-ignore:start --> *[View all comments](https://triagebot.infra.rust-lang.org/gh-comments/rust-lang/rust/issues/116909)* <!-- homu-ignore:end --> This is a tracking issue for the RFC 3453 (rust-lang/rfcs#3453). The feature gate for the issue is `#![feature(f16)]` and `#![feature(f128)]`. From the RFC: > This RFC proposes adding new IEEE-compliant floating point types `f16` and `f128` into the core language and standard library. We will provide a soft float implementation for all targets, and use hardware support where possible. ### About tracking issues Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation. They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions. A tracking issue is however *not* meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature. Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label. ### Steps - [x] Implement the RFC (see the below section for details) - [ ] Adjust documentation ([see instructions on rustc-dev-guide][doc-guide]) - [ ] Stabilization PR ([see instructions on rustc-dev-guide][stabilization-guide]) [stabilization-guide]: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/stabilization_guide.html#stabilization-pr [doc-guide]: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/stabilization_guide.html#documentation-prs ### Unresolved questions - [ ] Do any new target features need to be marked as "forbidden" since they aff
