fmt: clarify reflect.Value printing 

fmt docs say:

  If the operand is a reflect.Value, the concrete value it
  holds is printed as if it was the operand.

It implies recursive application of this rule, which is not the case.
Clarify the docs.

formatting considerations apply for operands that implement
certain interfaces. In order of application:
1. If the operand is a reflect.Value, the concrete value it
holds is printed as if it was the operand.
1. If the operand is a reflect.Value, the operand is replaced by the
concrete value that it holds, and printing continues with the next rule.
2. If an operand implements the Formatter interface, it will
be invoked. Formatter provides fine control of formatting.
