minor doc issue on Float32 literals #2821

I noticed the following minor issue regarding float32 literals in the online Julia documentation.

https://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.1/manual/integers-and-floating-point-numbers/

The above results are all Float64 values. There is no literal format for Float32, but you can convert values to Float32 easily:

julia> float32(-1.5)
-1.5

julia> typeof(ans)
Float32

There are three specified standard floating-point values that do not correspond to a point on the real number line:

This should be updated to reflect that there is a literal format for Float32, namely "-1.5f0" in this case.
