rpk outputs scientific notation for large integer config values

[ajfabbri]

Version & Environment

Redpanda / RPK version: 22.1.4 on linux.

Found when working on #4850, my test code had to special case output of a large value because it was printed by RPK in scientific notation (link).

A quick search found these maybe-related issues: #2103 #2620 #3082

Pinging @r-vasquez to check if this has been fixed with the recent merge removing viper,
which, if so, may also fix the issues linked above (thanks for the spelunking)

Hello @ajfabbri

#5061 fixed this issue and is in the upcoming v22.2 release, now:

$ rpk redpanda config set redpanda.delete_retention_ms 6048000001234123

will produce:

$ cat /etc/redpanda/redpanda.yaml
