The existing ToString() is not flexible enough to be used in wxGrid,
which supports specifying the width (and not just the precision) as well
as using formats other than "%g" and "%f" which are the only ones
supported by the existing function.
Note that currently the implementation simply calls wxString::Format()
and then adjusts the decimal separator, but it could, in principle, use
wxUILocale methods for formatting the floating point numbers using
native platform functions for doing this, e.g. CFNumberFormatter under
macOS.
This is necessary in order to deal with the numbers greater than
wxINT64_MAX that can't be represented in just long long.
It also allows to implement the intuitive handling of minus sign for the
unsigned numbers, i.e. not to accept it in FromString(), unlike the
standard functions which do (and parse -1 as 0xffff...fff).
Also extend the tests to check for more boundary cases.
It seems to make sense to allow using it for formatting and parsing long long
values as well as it can be done trivially using almost the same code as for
long.
It would be nice to support long double in a similar way but we don't wrap
C99 strtold() right now so it wouldn't be as simple, leave it for later.

wxNumberFormatter formats and parses numbers with thousands separators.
Add the class itself as well as documentation and the unit test for it.
See #12166.
