Details:

If I set "format long" before running the test suite, then test
libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc-tst fails.


>> runsometests('libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc-tst')
Testing
/usr/local/Cellar/octave-stable/stable/share/octave/5.0.1/etc/tests/libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc-tst

***** test
 str = evalc ("x = 1.1; display (x)");
 assert (str, "x =  1.1000\n");
!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (str,"x =  1.1000\n")

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     []      x =  1.100000000000000
 x =  1.1000
   Strings don't match

The test suite should probably be immune to user format settings, either in
the tests themselves, or by temporarily setting the format settings back to
the default while running the test suite.

Affects 4.4.1 and stable.
