[3.13] gh-99880: document rounding mode for new-style formatting (GH-121481) (#126334)

The CPython uses _Py_dg_dtoa(), which does rounding to nearest with half
to even tie-breaking rule.

If that functions is unavailable, PyOS_double_to_string() fallbacks to
system snprintf().  Since CPython 3.12, build requirements include C11
compiler *and* support for IEEE 754 floating point numbers (Annex F).
This means that FE_TONEAREST macro is available and, per default,
printf-like functions should use same rounding mode as _Py_dg_dtoa().

(cherry picked from commit 7d7d56d8b1147a6b85e1c09d01b164df7c5c4942)
