Descrizione
### Description
This RFC proposes adding support for computing the error function for single-precision floating-point numbers.
The package is the single-precision analogue to `@stdlib/math/base/special/erf`. Similar to that package, we can base our implementation on [msun](https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/12.2.0/lib/msun/src/s_erff.c?view=markup). The implementations for both JavaScript and C should follow the reference implementation.
For the JavaScript implementation, we'll need to make sure that we emulate `float32` arithmetic by wrapping operation results with `float64ToFloat32`. This will mean noticeable performance degradation in JavaScript, but will ensure that the JavaScript and C implementations produce the same results.
Package: `@stdlib/math/base/special/erff`
Alias: `erff`
