[issue19969] PyBytes_FromFormatV("%c") and PyString_FromFormatV("%c") don't check for character min/max value

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

PyBytes_FromFormatV("%c") and PyString_FromFormatV("%c") overflow if the parameter is not in range [0; 255].

If nobody complained before, it's maybe not worth to fix the bug in Python 2.7 or 3.3.
