printf(1): Clarify that \OOO produces a byte, different %b escape sequences.

Octal escape sequences are expanded to bytes, not characters, and multiple
are required for a multibyte character.

The valid escape sequences in %b strings are slightly different from the
escape sequences in the format string.

Support the L modifier for floating-point values as an extension.
When L is omitted, double precision is used, so printf(1) gives
reproducable results. When L is specified, long double precision is
used, which may improve precision, depending on the machine.

- printf shouldn't bail out if a conversion fails, it should just keep
processing them.
- \c escape to immediately stop output (similar to echo's \c)
- \0NNN should be allowed for octal character escapes (instead of just \NNN)
- %b conversion, which is like %s but interprets \n \t etc. inside the
string is missing.

And I may not be any poet, but in lieu of an in-tree regression test:

Remove the printf builtin command from sh(1), which command is not
used so often that it's worth keeping it as a builtin.

Now that all the printf invocations from within the system startup
scripts, we can safely remove it.

No MFC is planned so far because it may break compatibility and
violate POLA.
