Rollup merge of rust-lang#124609 - RalfJung:float-precision, r=cuviper

variable-precision float operations can differ depending on optimization levels

Follow-up to rust-lang#121793 and rust-lang#118217 that accounts for optimizations changing the precision of these functions.

Fixes rust-lang#109118
Fixes rust-lang#71355
