The strtod_flags() function allowed for fine control of how to
parse strings. However, only two different modes were actually
used: ascii mode ("C" locale) and permissive mode (accept ","
and "." as decimal separator).
The former had already its own function name (ascii_strtod).
Make the latter a separatge function as well (permissive_strtod)
and remove all the flags rigmarole.

Owing to bitrot, this union only contained a float and therefore
is pointless. Let's remove it.
That makes the function name "integer_or_float()" non-sensical.
Call it "parse_float()" instead.
Moreover, change the output-arguments of "parse_float()" from
pointers to references, as null-pointers are not supported.
Finally, remove the "errno" check after "ascii_strtod()". As far as
I can tell, errno is not set in "ascii_strtod()" and using a global
variable for error-reporting it is an incredibly silly interface
anyway.

Had to rewrite the thing, because gcc's warnings don't work
with templatized var-args. Since there is no string-format.cpp
and I didn't want to inline it, moved it to format.cpp.
String formatting is distributed around at least four
headers: membuffer.h, subsurface-string.h, format.h
and format-string.h. This really should be unified!

Remove the options to expand entities and so continue when encountering invalid /
malformed XML, as both of these can be exploited by supplying
maliciously crafted XML.

Create a format_string_std function that works like format_string,
but does return a std::string instead of a strdup()ed C string.
Make it a global function to be used in other parts of the code.

This was very annoying, because the old code was not const-clean
at all and trampled all over buffers. This makes the new code
pretty messy for now.
