max-iterations in ice-9/format.scm

[Bill Schottstaedt]

Currently format truncates a list at the 100th item without any warning:

(define nums (list
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

This is because line 618 sets "max-iterations" to 100 if it isn't
otherwise prescribed.  Here is a diff that fixes it:
