FormattedNumber output when using percentages has an inappropriate default scale

Describe the bug
An input number of 25 is formatted as 2,500% instead of 25% because, for some reason, the scale is defaulting to 100. In the examples as per the spec, the default scale is 1. The multiplier would only be added if explicitly defined. Additionally, adding a scale/1 directive doesn't do anything.

Relates to:
can u provide a codesandbox?
in my PR #4315 which introduces a live icu editor, you can see the default scale is 100
hmm the default scale is basically the ECMA-402 behavior, which conflicts with ICU. This unfortunately is a breaking change so I'm kinda reluctant to fix it.
