strconv: clarify ParseFloat accepts Go syntax for float literals
The documentation for strconv.ParseFloat mentions that it "accepts
decimal and hexadecimal floating-point number syntax", but it doesn't
specify what those formats entail. For example, "0x10" is not allowed;
you need an explicit exponent, as in "0x10p0".
This clarifies that ParseFloat accepts the Go syntax for floating-point
literals, and links to that spec section. I've also linked to the
relevant spec section for ParseInt's doc comment, which already said
"as defined by the Go syntax for integer literals".
