Remove incorrect width adjustment that prevented proper padding
with spaces for %g format specifier when the value has trailing
zeros in the integer part.

The original code would reduce the field width when precision
became negative (e.g., for 100000.0, precision = strlen("1") - 6 = -5),
causing the output to lose its padding:

printf("(%10g)\n", 100000.0f);  // was: (100000), expected: (    100000)

The fix clamps negative precision to 0 instead of adjusting the
width, preserving the requested field width for proper padding.

Adds test case t_printf_g_width.

Did this patch lose the update of Makefile.am, for the new testcase?
