Fix FloatToString printing with not enough precision when using `fixed` floatfield format

Setting precision to `std::numeric_limits<float>::max_digits10` is valid
when using the `scientific` floatfield format when printing values.
However, we used `fixed` to make our floats more human-readable. This
change keeps the output in `fixed`, except if doing so loses precision,
in which case we fall back to `scientific`.

This fixes the rendering differences seen in the Babylon.js examples
(https://crbug.com/tint/944) between Dawn using Tint vs SPIRV-Cross, as
Tint's output was emitting values that had lost too much precision
(e.g. very small numbers being output as 0).
