90: Fix CheckedShl/CheckedShr documentation r=cuviper a=samueltardieu
Fix#57 and more:
- CheckedShl was hinting that None was returned on overflow rather than
on too large a rhs.
- Ditto for CheckedShr.
- CheckedShr documentation erroneously indicated that a left shift was
going to be performed instead of a right shift.

81: Add wrapping shifts r=cuviper a=edmccard
Add traits `WrappingShl` and `WrappingShr` corresponding to the
standard library `wrapping_shl` and `wrapping_shr` methods. Implement
the trait on all primitive integer types as well as on `Wrapping`.

73: Avoid `as` casts in default FromPrimitive methods r=cuviper a=cuviper
Particularly, the default `from_f64` used `n as i64`, which has
undefined behavior on overflow, kind of defeating the purpose here.
Now we use a checked `to_i64()` for this, and even try `to_u64()` as a
fallback for completeness.
Also make similar changes to default `ToPrimitive`, but at least it
didn't have the same casting problem.

Now we use a checked `to_i64()` for this, and even try `to_u64()` as a

(All of the primitive implementations already do better, at least.)
This includes new conditional methods `ToPrimitive::{to_i128,to_u128}`
and `FromPrimitive::{from_i128,from_u128}`. Since features can only be
additive, these methods must not cause a breaking change to anyone when
enabled -- thus they have a default implementation that converts through
64-bit values. Types that can do better with a full 128-bit integer,
like bigint or floating-point, will probably want to override these.
61: Use constant for 180/π in f32::to_degrees r=cuviper a=vks
The current `f32::to_degrees` implementation uses a division to
calculate 180/π, which causes a loss of precision. Using a constant is
still not perfect (implementing a maximally-precise algorithm would come
with a high performance cost), but improves precision with a minimal
change.
This is a backport from [`std`].

59: Added `MulAdd` and `MulAddAssign` traits r=cuviper a=regexident
Both `f32` and `f64` implement fused multiply-add, which computes `(self * a) + b` with only one rounding error. This produces a more accurate result with better performance than a separate multiplication operation followed by an add:
```rust
fn mul_add(self, a: f32, b: f32) -> f32[src]
```
It is however not possible to make use of this in a generic context by abstracting over a trait.
My concrete use-case is machine learning, [gradient descent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent) to be specific,
where the core operation of updating the gradient could make use of `mul_add` for both its `weights: Vector` as well as its `bias: f32`:
```rust
struct Perceptron {
weights: Vector,
bias: f32,
}
impl MulAdd<f32, Self> for Vector {
// ...
}
impl Perceptron {
fn learn(&mut self, example: Vector, expected: f32, learning_rate: f32) {
let alpha = self.error(example, expected, learning_rate);
self.weights = example.mul_add(alpha, self.weights);
self.bias = self.bias.mul_add(alpha, self.bias)
}
}
```
(The actual impl of `Vector` would be generic over its value type: `Vector<T>`, thus requiring the trait.)
