[issue22385] Define a binary output formatting mini-language for *.hex()

[Nick Coghlan]

Retitled the issue and made it depend on issue 9951.

I now think it's better to tackle this more like strftime and have a method that accepts of particular custom formatting mini-language (in this case, the new hex() methods proposed in issue 9951), and then also support that mini-language in the __format__() method.

It would likely need a PEP to decide on the exact details of the formatting.
