Proposal #143: Numeric literals added digit separators with strict rules for placement. It missed some use-cases. In order to address this, remove placement rules for numeric literals.

Related issue: #1485

- For hexadecimal in particular, there are microformats where different
placement rules may be desirable. For example, MAC addresses are typically
in byte pairs (`00-B0-D0-63-C2-26`) and UUIDs have particular groupings
(`123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000`).

I've changed this to point at the alternatives for examples, because that already covers more. (I'd like to avoid duplicating that much content)

Would it be possible to update https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/lexical_conventions/numeric_literals.md#digit-separators and https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/README.md#integer-literals as part of this PR or file an issue to make those changes?

I'd prefer to handle updates separately. I don't think we should file an issue for implementing unapproved proposals.
