Rework the conversion of floats to decimal strings so it aligns precisely
with the conversion of strings to floats in parsenum.c. This is to avoid
rendering 1eX as 9.99999eX-1 etc. This is achieved by removing the power-
of-10 tables and using pow() to compute the exponent directly, and that's
done efficiently by first estimating the power-of-10 exponent from the
power-of-2 exponent in the floating-point representation.
Code size is reduced by roughly 100 to 200 bytes by this commit.

This adds the Python files in the tests/ directory to be formatted with
./tools/codeformat.py. The basics/ subdirectory is excluded for now so we
aren't changing too much at once.
In a few places `# fmt: off`/`# fmt: on` was used where the code had
special formatting for readability or where the test was actually testing
the specific formatting.
Prior to this patch, some architectures (eg unix x86) could render floats
with "negative" digits, like ")". For example, '%.23e' % 1e-80 would come
out as "1.0000000000000000/)/(,*0e-80". This patch fixes the known cases.
Prior to this patch, some architectures (eg unix x86) could render floats
with a ":" character in them, eg 1e+39 would come out as ":e+38" (":" is
just after "9" in ASCII so this is like 10e+38). This patch fixes some of
these cases.
Prior to this patch the %f formatting of some FP values could be off by up
to 1, eg '%.0f' % 123 would return "122" (unix x64). Depending on the FP
precision (single vs double) certain numbers would format correctly, but
others wolud not. This patch should fix all cases of rounding for %f.
