Mark this static.

NULL is technically incorrect here; locale_t is not necessarily a
pointer type. POSIX says the third argument should be '(locale_t)0'.

Technically, %f and %lf are identical. I also wonder if we should be
favoring %g instead of %f here, or if we need to care about the rounding
errors introduced by the fact that the default precision of %f is
smaller than the actual precision in the double value being converted.
But as this is the pre-existing format, changing it would deserve a
separate commit, so it does not impact this commit.

I'd also add ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK.
Of the two alternatives, I prefer this one for now. If we ever have
need for further enhancements down the road, we can add them at that
time. No need to add code that will be unused by being more flexible
than our current needs.
