#22798: pluralize filter should pluralize float/Decimal values between 1 and 2

---------------------------------+--------------------
The pluralize filter works as expected for floats/Decimals outside of the
range 1-2:
{{{
>>> pluralize(0.9)
u's'
>>> pluralize(2.1)
u's'
}}}
However, when applied to a decimal number between 1 and 2, it
(incorrectly) does not pluralize:
{{{
>>> pluralize(1.2)
u''
}}}
Not only is this incorrect from an English standpoint, it also contradicts
pluralize's docstring: "Returns a plural suffix if the value is not 1."
The problem appears to be at
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/template/defaultfilters.py#L937
line 937] where the given value is converted directly to an integer; this
chops the decimal part of the number off, making it appear to be 1.
The specific use case for this is:
{{{
{{ widget_count|floatformat:"-2" }} widget{{ widget_count|pluralize }}
}}}
This will produce "0.5 widgets", "1 widget", and "2.1 widgets" correctly,
but "1.2 widget" incorrectly.
(This ticket is a descendant of #16723, but that ticket was about a
broader issue that encompassed this, and so ended up being closed as
invalid.)
