auto merge of #15160 : alexcrichton/rust/remove-f128, r=brson

The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
