The %#v verb is special: it says all values below need to print as %#v.
However, for some situations the # flag has other meanings and this
causes some issues, particularly in how Formatters work. Since %#v
dominates all formatting, translate it into actual state of the formatter
and decouple it from the # flag itself within the calculations (although
it must be restored when methods are doing the work.)
The result is cleaner code and correct handling of # for Formatters.
TODO: Apply the same thinking to the + flag in a followup CL.
Also, the wasString return value in handleMethods is always false,
so eliminate it.

The test case was already there and ran, another mystery.

Previous behavior was undocumented and inconsistent. Now it is documented
and consistent and measures the input size, since that makes more sense
when talking about %q and %x. For %s the change has no effect.
Fixes#8151.

With new interface allocation rules, the old counts were wrong and
so was the commentary.
