Rollup merge of #155133 - cuviper:duration_fp_docs, r=the8472 Document precision considerations of `Duration`-float methods A `Duration` is essentially a 94-bit value (64-bit sec and ~30-bit ns), so there's some inherent loss when converting to floating-point for `mul_f64` and `div_f64`. We could go to greater lengths to compute these with more accuracy, like rust-lang/rust#150933 or rust-lang/rust#154107, but it's not clear that it's worth the effort. The least we can do is document that some rounding is to be expected, which this commit does with simple examples that only multiply or divide by `1.0`. This also changes the `f32` methods to just forward to `f64`, so we keep more of that duration precision, as the range is otherwise much more limited there.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
