Description
Introduce method round_to_digits(T: u32) for f64 (and f32). Same as f64::round() except that you can specify how many digits you want to round to.
Example use case:
I have the number 12.34567 and I want to round it to 12.35. Current f64::round() requires a verbose/less-readable/bug-prone workaround:
let full_float = 12.34567;
let rounded_float = (full_float * 100.0).round() / 100.0;
assert_eq!(rounded_float, 12.35);
The proposed method round_to() would simplify the above to:
let rounded_float = 12.34567.round_to_digits(2);
assert_eq!(rounded_float, 12.35);

Research direction
Start with the requested f64 and f32 method and the examples in the issue; no source file or test is named. A complete contribution would first settle the rounding API and behavior for specified digits, then document the proposal through the Rust RFC repository process.
