Bitstrings are binaries that don't end on an 8 bit boundary, so dealing
with the trailing bits is annoying. Thanks to the bit_size bif we don't
have to resort to io_lib for printing them.

As long as the numeral is not the first character, it shouldn't force
quoting on the atom.  For example, abc123 does not need quotes.

Specifically, the handling of lists/binaries/atoms is closer to
io_lib:format's behaviour, and some regular expressions are eliminated.

In string mode, "..", '..' and <<"..">> are stripped, just like with
io:format.

The test if an element in a list was in the printable range didn't
handle the case of a float in the list that compared to be in the
printable range.

This is superior to float_to_list as it only prints the meaningful
digits and 1.0 isn't rendered as "1.00000000000000000000e+00".

This solves an issue reported by 'cloudhead' in IRC where deep lists
weren't being flattened when printed with format specifiers like ~s ~p
and ~P, all of which should flatten the list.
