 Use dropWhileEndLE p instead of reverse . dropWhile p . reverse

 Summary: Using `dropWhileEndLE` tends to be faster and easier to read
 than the `reverse . dropWhile p . reverse` idiom. This also cleans up
 some other, nearby, messes. Fix #9616 (incorrect number formatting
 potentially leading to incorrect numbers in output).

 Test Plan: Run validate
