fmt: refactor and unify float and complex formatting

Removes specialized functions for each verb and float/complex size
and replaces them with generic variants fmtFloat and
fmtComplex similar to other generic fmt functions.

Simplifies the complex formatting by relying on fmtFloat
to handle the verb and default precision selection.

Complex imaginary formatting does not need to clear the f.space flag
because the set f.plus flag will force a sign instead of a space.

Sets default precision for %b to -1 (same as %g and %G)
since precision for %b has no affect in strconv.AppendFloat.

Add more tests and group them a bit better.
Use local copies of +Inf,-Inf and NaN instead
of math package functions for testing.

Saves around 8kb in the go binary.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
