Improve docs about numeric formatting patterns (to_char/to_number).
The explanation about "0" versus "9" format characters was confusing
and arguably wrong; the discussion of sign handling wasn't very good
either. Notably, while it's accurate to say that "FM" strips leading
zeroes in date/time values, what it really does with numeric values
is to strip *trailing* zeroes, and then only if you wrote "9" rather
than "0". Per gripes from Erwin Brandstetter.
