Improvements to %g pull request

This code %g is preliminary.

Fixed some code style issues to match the current code style.

Added regression tests and help file updates to printf and strprintf.

Fixed use of magic number -4: using -P instead.

Noted two problem areas with XXX comments in qio.c:

    1) need a qprintfg function
    2) re-write to not modify conf->outdigits

If the number of arguments after fmt is less than the
number of format specifiers in fmt, the "missing" arguments
may be taken to be null values - these contribute nothing to the
output; if a positive width w has been specified, the effect is
to produce w spaces, e.g. printf("abc%6dxyz") prints "abc xyz".

If i <= the number of specifiers in fmt, the value of argument x_i
is printed in the format specified by the i-th specifier.
If a positive width w has been specified and normal printing of x_i
does not include a '\n' character, what is printed will if necessary
be padded with spaces so that the length of the printed output
is at least the w. Note that control
characters like '\t', '\b' each count as one character. If
the 'right-pad' flag has been set, the padding is on the right;
otherwise it is on the left.
