[issue35714] Document that the null character '\0' terminates a struct format spec

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

I'm not sure whether having NULLs terminate a struct format string is a feature or a bug.

Given that nearly every other string in Python treat NULLs as ordinary characters, I'm inclined to say this is a bug. Or at least an unnecessary restriction that ought to be lifted.
