This CL extends the various SetString and Parse methods for
Ints, Rats, and Floats to accept the new octal prefixes.

The main change is in natconv.go, all other changes are
documentation and test updates.

Finally, this CL also fixes TestRatSetString which silently
dropped certain failures.

Updates #12711.
