fix behavior of printf with alt-form octal, zero precision, zero value

in this case there are two conflicting rules in play: that an explicit
precision of zero with the value zero produces no output, and that the
'#' modifier for octal increases the precision sufficiently to yield a
leading zero. ISO C (7.19.6.1 paragraph 6 in C99+TC3) includes a
parenthetical remark to clarify that the precision-increasing behavior
takes precedence, but the corresponding text in POSIX off of which I
based the implementation is missing this remark.

this issue was covered in WG14 DR#151.
