Bug in Float printOn:decimalPlaces:

Just a little bug I found in Float printOn:decimalPlaces: in Dolphin
4.01.3.

Doing
3.999 printOn: aStream decimalPlaces: 2
produces '4.00', and
3.999 printOn: aStream decimalPlaces: 1
produces '4.0', *but*
3.999 printOn: aStream decimalPlaces: 0
produces '3'.

A fix is to change the "self truncated" to "self rounded" for the case
where decimalPlaces aInteger < 1.
