Subject: [PATCH] printf: Fix int overflow in rounding calculation

In printf float formatting, a calculation of digits to round may trigger signed int overflow, if the precision is large and the exponent is large and negative. For example, `printf("%.*g", INT_MAX, 1e-100)` will reproduce it.

The overflow case corresponds to a huge number of digits after the decimal, which means no rounding is required, so I opted to saturate j at INT_MAX. Using a wider type is an alternative.

Note that p is non-negative, so underflow is impossible.
