Log Message:
Add %C format conversion and -L option to printf(1)

%C does what everyone always thought %c should do, but doesn't,
and operates rather like the %c conversion in printf(3) (to be
more precise, like %lc).   It takes a code point integer value
in the current locale's LC_CTYPE and prints the character designated.

-L (this printf's first, and only, option) makes the floating conversions
use long double instead of double.

In the manual (printf.1) document both of those, and also be more
precise as to when things are affecting bytes, and when they're
manipulating characters (which makes no difference if LC_ALL=C).
