[issue27460] Change bytes exception when overflow

[Xiang Zhang]

New submission from Xiang Zhang:

I suggest change `bytes` exception message when an iterable containing overflow integers.

Right now, bytes([sys.maxsize+1]) emits ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer "ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer". I think actually when use bytes in such a situation we don't care the integer overflows or not, we only care if the integer is in range(0, 256) or not, just like what bytearray([sys.maxsize+1]) does.
