+Render a number as a plain decimal string, never in exponential notation.

+Why this exists (issue #157): the null-safe fallback helpers pass values

+float64 to exponential notation from about 1e6 upwards, so a bare byte count
+like 1048576 became "1.048576e+06" - not a valid Kubernetes quantity, and the
