[issue7117] Backport py3k float repr to trunk

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

r75672:  temporarily disable the short float repr while we're putting
         the pieces in place.

When testing, the disablement can be disabled (hah) by defining the 
PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR preprocessor symbol, e.g. (on Unix) with

CC='gcc -DPY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR' ./configure && make
