Remove the undocumented private float.set_format() method,
previously known as float.set_format() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."

Happy to do so, if you'll allow me time. :-) But it appears I'm too late.

Aren't these tests still relevant?

LGTM, but I think test_getformat should be kept.

Sorry, sometimes I can be too impatient. I took your comment on the issue as an approval of the overall removal.

... But I didn't review carefully removed tests! I saw requires_getformat and so I expected this decorator to be used on tests on __getformat__(). Nope. Not only all these were were skipped since Python 3.7 (now fixed in 3.9 and 3.10), but the requires_getformat variable was simply unused!

I wrote #31601 to add getformat tests removed by mistake.

Thanks for the review. Sorry again for not waiting for your review.
