[issue7094] Add alternate float formatting styles to new-style formatting.

It looks like this change has not been applied to Python 2.7. Do we have any chance of getting it to 2.7?

> So I'm unsure if anyone is actually using alternate formatting.

The "alternative form" is my favorite, and I think that "%#g" should be the default format for general floating-point values in numerical applications. That is why I miss this feature in Python 2.7 so much.
