Change defaults for format-style printing?

[skirpichev]

Documentation says: The default format is '.6f'. While this can be considered as a feature, I would prefer to be compatible with CPython floats here (in short, in CPython default is almost same as 'g').

With 'f' it's easy to demolish significand to dust:

>>> f'{gmpy2.mpfr(1.3335678912e-10)}'
'0.000000'
>>> f'{gmpy2.mpfr(1.3335678912e-10):g}'
'1.33357e-10'

I agree that matching CPython is important. I don't remember why I chose '.6f'.
