float format specifier throws on int, unlike in cpython. #838

Description

Description

If an int is passed to a float format specifier, IronPython treats the float specifier as an int specifier and throws, whereas cpython treats the int as a float.

Steps to Reproduce

>>> "{:.3f}".format(1)

Expected behavior:
Verified in cpython 2.7.1.7

>>> "{:.3f}".format(1)
'1.000'
>>>

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

>>> "{:.3f}".format(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Precision not allowed in integer format specifier
>>>

Versions
