When scanning with a width, as in %5s, C skips leading spaces
brefore counting the 5 characters. We should do the same.
Reword the documentation about widths to make this clear.

The documentation says that newlines behave like this:
Scan etc.: newlines are spaces.
Scanln etc.: newlines terminate the scan.
Scanf etc.: newlines must match in input and format.
The code did not implement this behavior in all cases,
especially for Scanf. Make it behave:
- Fix the handling of spaces and newlines in ss.Advance.
The code is longer but now behaves as it should.
- Delete the reuse of the current ss in newScanState.
There is really no need, since it's only used in recursive
calls to Scan etc., and the flags are likely wrong. Simpler
just to allocate a new one every time, and likelier to
be correct.
Fixes#10862.

When a reflect.Value is passed to Printf (etc.), fmt called the
String method, which does not disclose its contents. To get the
contents, one could call Value.Interface(), but that is illegal
if the Value is not exported or otherwise forbidden.
This CL improves the situation with a trivial change to the
fmt package: when we see a reflect.Value as an argument,
we treat it exactly as we treat a reflect.Value we make inside
the package. This means that we always print the
contents of the Value as if _that_ was the argument to Printf.
This is arguably a breaking change but I think it is a genuine
improvement and no greater a break than many other tweaks
we have made to formatted output from this package.
Fixes#8965.

If a method called by fmt triggers a panic, the output usually says
so. However, there is heretofore undocumented special treatment for
a panic caused by formatting a nil value with an Error or String
method: the output is simply "<nil>". Document that behavior.

It was inconsistent.
Also test these better.
Also document the default format for types.
This wasn't written down.

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.
