Drop support for MSVCRT's float formatting quirk.

Commit f1885386 added code to remove an unnecessary leading zero from
the exponent in a float formatted by the system snprintf().  The C
standard doesn't allow unnecessary digits beyond two, and the tests pass
without this on Windows' modern UCRT (required since commit 1758d424).
