When '%A' format is specified, we also need to capitalize the `0x`, i.e. `0XEP-3`, not `0xEP-3`.
The default precision for float actually depends on the format. It's _usually_ 6, but it's architecture-specific for hexadecimal floats. Set the precision as an Option, so that: - We don't need to sprinkle `6` in callers - We can actually handle unspecified precision correctly in float printing (next change).
The default hex format, on x86(-64) prints 15 digits after the decimal point, _but_ also trims trailing zeros, so it's not just a simple default precision and a little bit of extra handling is required. Also add a bunch of tests. Fixes uutils#7364.

Fix 2 more printing issues. For now, we print like GNU coreutils on x86-64 does. I plan to write up a bit more about float precision handling (and how we are different from GNU coreutils, not just in
printf, but also inseq), but I think I'll do that as a separate PR.uucore: format: Fix hexadecimal default format print
