Use "g" not "f" format in ecpg's PGTYPESnumeric_from_double().
The previous coding could overrun the provided buffer size for a very large input, or lose precision for a very small input. Adopt the methodology that's been in use in the equivalent backend code for a long time. Per private report from Bas van Schaik. Back-patch to all supported branches.
