[core] Optimize value_accuracy_to_buf to avoid snprintf

Replace snprintf("%.*f") with integer-based formatting for finite float values with accuracy_decimals 0-3 (covers virtually all sensor usage). Falls back to snprintf for higher accuracy or NaN/Inf. Uses lrint() with double cast for the multiply to match snprintf's rounding behavior exactly. The fast path avoids snprintf's heavy float formatting machinery entirely. Also optimizes value_accuracy_with_uom_to_buf to append the UOM string directly instead of going through snprintf. Adds C++ unit tests that verify output matches snprintf for a range of values including edge cases. Benchmark: 92,961ns -> 6,484ns (14.3x faster, 2000 iterations).
