Template cannot format integers bigger than maximum float

[jbvsmo@…]

I cannot render in templates any integer (long in this case) bigger than the maximum float (approx. 3e308) because the ​django.utils.numberformat module do cast everything to float just to check the sign.

Funny thing is that the number is then converted to string and the minus symbol is removed. So, the easiest fix would be: Grab the sign after string formatting.

I made this change and generated a patch with my IDE (that's why the funky file path). All the tests pass.

Remove float call that can break on big integers

[Jason Mayfield]

I can confirm that passing in a number that's larger than sys.float_info.max does cause the django.utils.numberformat.format function to throw an exception. The patch needs to be updated with standard relative directory rather than the Windows-based directory that's on it now. Also needs a unit test.
