Fix portability issues in datetime parsing.
datetime.c's parsing logic has assumed that strtod() will accept
a string that looks like ".", which it does in glibc, but not on
some less-common platforms such as AIX.  The result of this was
that datetime fields like "123." would be accepted on some platforms
but not others; which is a sufficiently odd case that it's not that
surprising we've heard no field complaints.  But commit e39f99046
extended that assumption to new places, and happened to add a test
case that exposed the platform dependency.  Remove this dependency
by special-casing situations without any digits after the decimal
point.
(Again, this is in part a pre-existing bug but I don't feel a
compulsion to back-patch.)
Also, rearrange e39f99046's changes in formatting.c to avoid a
Coverity complaint that we were copying an uninitialized field.
