[issue17259] locale.format() rounding is not reliable for floats

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

Mark is the ultimate authority here, but my recollection is (and a quick scan of the code shows) that half to even rounding is used in all of our float to string conversions. So that includes %f and float.__format__, among others.
