#16723: Pluralize filter shouldn't pluralize decimal/float values between 1 and
2

---------------------+---------------------------------
The pluralize filter's support for floating point/decimal numbers is
buggy. Its check for plurality is:
{{{
if int(value) != 1
}}}
which unfortunately catches floats 1.0 < x < 2.0 that shouldn't be
pluralized in English.
Example:
{{{
pound{{ weight|pluralize:"s" }}
}}}
When `weight` is 1.3, this gives "1.3 pound", which is incorrect. "1.3
pounds" is the expected result.
The filter should probably also pluralize 1.0 when it is given as a
floating point/decimal number, because native speakers will generally
pluralize all decimal numbers. ("One-point-oh hours," not "One-point-oh
hour".)
