Revert "fmt: fix incorrect format of whole-number floats when using %#v"

Numbers without decimals are valid Go representations of whole-number
floats. That is, "var x float64 = 5" is valid Go. Avoid breakage in
tests that expect a certain output from %#v by reverting to it.

To guarantee the right type is generated by a print use %T(%#v) instead.

Added a test to lock in this behavior.

This reverts commit 7c7cecc1.

Fixes #27634
Updates #26363
