Remove the quad_precision_float feature gate

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.
Optimize out exhortations about being careful.

Yes, it is important to be careful, but repeated emphasis about it is probably
not helpful — it starts to sound like you came for a tutorial but found a
finger-wagging lecture.

Even after I removed a few of these comments, there are still several left in
the text. That's probably fine! A couple of mentions of how this is dangerous
and you ought to be careful may be a good reminder to the reader.

After making the edits, I reflowed the paragraphs that I had touched, using
emacs's "M-x fill-paragraph", with fill-column equal to 70.
add "(see below)" to a reference to a new concept

This is because I observed someone reading the tutorial who thought they'd
missed something when they got to the mention of variable bindings.

This patch doesn't reflow the paragraphs so that you can see the semantic
change that I made, and a subsequent patch will reflow this paragraph.

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/13570.
reflow with emacs fill-paragraph (fill-column 71)

compiletest: Remove superfluous to_string calls
librustc: Remove cross borrowing from mutable `Box`es to `&mut`.

This will break code like:

    fn f(x: &mut int) {}

    let mut a = box 1i;
    f(a);

Change it to:

    fn f(x: &mut int) {}

    let mut a = box 1i;
    f(&mut *a);

librustc: Don't try to perform the magical
vector-reference-to-unsafe-pointer-to-element cast if the type to be
casted to is not fully specified.

This is a conservative change to fix the user-visible symptoms of the
issue. A more flexible treatment would delay cast checks to after
function typechecking.

This can break code that did:

    let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *_;

Change this code to:

    let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *u8;

Closes #14893.
