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.

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

Apply a similar transformation to %+v that we did to %#v, making it
a top-level setting separate from the + flag itself. This fixes the
appearance of flags in Formatters and cleans up the code too,
probably making it a little faster.
Fixes#8835.

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.
