bug#24407: 24.5; doc of `format'

[Drew Adams]

The Elisp manual doc for `format' (node Formatting Strings) looks OK.
But the doc string has this bug:

  where flags is [+ #-0]+, width is [0-9]+, and precision is .[0-9]+

                                  must be a literal `.' here ^

The precision part should be this (or equivalent): "[.][0-9]+", not
".[0-9]+".

Yes, using a period in a regexp-like expression is confusing, when we
mean a literal period.

But this is not the best solution.  I opted for telling that precision
is a literal period followed by [0-9]+ instead.

Thanks, fixed on master.
