strconv: replace Ryu ftoa with Dragonbox

Dragonbox is a faster ftoa algorithm that provides the same guarantees
as Ryu: round-trip conversion, shortest length, and correct rounding.
Dragonbox only supports shortest-precision conversion, so we continue to
use Ryu-printf for fixed precision.

The new implementation has been fuzz-tested against the current
Ryu implementation in addition to the existing test suite.
Benchmarks show at least ~15-20% performance improvement.

The following shows the relevant output from benchstat. Full benchmark
results and plots are available at:
