[issue16801] Preserve original representation for integers / floats in docstrings

[Mark Dickinson]

I suspect the difference is due to a change in the way that Sphinx handles the py:method directive: the rst source for `pathlib.Path.touch` hasn't changed between 3.9 and 3.10, but the 3.9 docs are built with Sphinx 2.4.4, while the 3.10 docs are built with Sphinx 3.2.1.
