fix: add serial_test to prevent locale test race conditions

- Add serial_test crate to dev-dependencies to ensure locale-dependent tests run sequentially
- Add #[serial] attribute to test_format_with_thousands_separator and test_format_with_thousands_separator_locale
- Modify doctest to not assert locale-dependent output (just verify non-empty result)
- Fix doctest import path for extract_thousands_separator_flag

This prevents test interference when tests modify environment variables (LC_NUMERIC, LC_ALL, LANG) in parallel execution.
