[issue42429] Behavior of general (%g, :g) formatting inconsistent for decimal.Decimal

[Mark Dickinson]

Some references after a bit of tracker digging:

- #7098 is the original issue where the behaviour was considered.
- #23460 is related, and _did_ result in a documentation change, but that documentation change didn't say anything about preserving trailing zeros
- #13433 is relevant, and still open

So I think we're still missing a documentation update.
