std::fmt: Fixed documentation for specifying precision via .*

Browse Source 
The documentation stated that in case of the syntax `{<arg>:<spec>.*}`, "the
`<arg>` part refers to the value to print, and the precision must come in the
input preceding `<arg>`". This is not correct: the <arg> part does indeed refer
to the value to print, but the precision does not come in the input preciding
arg, but in the next implicit input (as if specified with {}).

Fixes #96413.
