writer: Simplify floats when printed

Add `tint::writer::FloatToString()`:

Converts the float `f` to a string using fixed-point notation (not scientific).
The float will be printed with the full precision required to describe the float.
All trailing `0`s will be omitted after the last non-zero fractional number,
unless the fractional is zero, in which case the number will end with `.0`.

Use this for the wgsl, msl and hlsl backends.
