551738280d seq(1): Require user-provided format strings to contain a conversion
This matches GNU seq, for example.

For users that are looking for similar functionality, 'jot -b foo N' will
print 'foo' N times.  See jot(1).

4956af63b1 seq(1): Consistently include 'last' for non-integers
The source of error is a rounded increment being too large and thus the loop
steps slightly past 'last'.  Perform a final comparison using the formatted
string values (truncated precision) to determine if we still need to print
the 'last' value.
