#1609: write page margins as their decimals

The page margins are kept as f32 and were widened to f64 when written,
so a 0.3-inch margin was saved as left="0.30000001192092896" (and 1.1
as 1.100000023841858). Each margin now goes through its shortest
decimal form first, so the file says 0.3, as Excel writes it.

 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-11-03 | minor | XLSX `pageMargins` are written as the decimals they were read or set as (`0.3`, as Excel writes them), not as the f64 widening of the stored f32 (`0.30000001192092896`) (#1609 item 7) |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | Python cells: `.xlsx` reads and writes `_xlfn._xlws.PY(i,0 or 1)` with the code in the Python part (and reads the string-literal form) with cached values and spills, other formats adopt PY formulas, GridCraft JSON keeps the whole cell, and opening limits code size, result size and spill ranges |
 | 2026-11-02 | trivial | An equation without Office Math takes its stored source only while its text, paragraphs included, is what the writer wrote for it; a paragraph split that changes no character reads back as a text box with the split text |
 | 2026-11-02 | trivial | Each equation box carries the marker of its own body in its description, the Office Math box and the plain-text fallback alike, and the reader takes the stored source only while the body it reads matches the marker: the text of an equation without Office Math that another application edited reads back as a text box with the edited text instead of the stale source |
