Description
For floats with values larger than 1e16 or smaller than 1e-5, their string representation uses scientific notation in Python, which causes numberformat.format to return an erroneous output.
>>> format(0.0000000000000000009, '.', 2) '9e-19.00' >>> format(1e16, '.', 2, thousand_sep=',', grouping=3, force_grouping=True) '1e,+16.00'
This is similar to #23935 but that was only fixed for Decimal types.
