Back off output precision in circle.sql regression test.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Back off output precision in circle.sql regression test. We were setting extra_float_digits = 0 to avoid platform-dependent output in this test, but that's still able to expose platform-specific roundoff behavior in some new test cases added by commit a3d284485, as reported by Peter Eisentraut. Reduce it to -1 to hide that. (Over in geometry.sql, we're using -3, which is an ancient decision dating to 337f73b1b. I wonder whether that's overkill now. But there's probably little value in trying to change it.) Back-patch to v12 where a3d284485 came in; there's no evidence that we have any platform-dependent issues here before that.
