RUSTSEC-2024-0379: Multiple soundness issues

[github-actions]

Details
Package	fast-float
Version	0.2.0
Warning	unsound
URL	aldanor/fast-float-rust#35
Patched Versions	n/a

fast-float contains multiple soundness issues:

1. Undefined behavior when checking input length, which has been merged but no package pubished.
2. Many functions marked as safe with non-local safety guarantees

The library is also unmaintained.

Alternatives

For quickly parsing floating-point numbers third-party crates are generally no longer needed. A fast float parsing algorithm by the author of lexical has been merged into libcore. When requiring direct parsing from bytes and/or partial parsers, the fast-float2 fork of fast-float containing these security patches and reduces overall usage of unsafe.

Comes from the polars crate.

They moved to fast-float2 but not in the latest (0.44.2) release. Guess that will come with the next release.
