RE: format-number in Saxon 8.5

A surprisingly basic bug which seems to have lain undetected in a number of
Saxon releases, perhaps because most of the test cases are on floating-point
numbers since that's what XSLT 1.0 supported.

A description of the bug and source fix are at

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=29872&atid=397617

(Note, format-number() is completely rewritten in Saxon 8 to remove the
dependency on the JDK implementation)
