[issue3982] support .format for bytes

[Augie Fackler]

Augie Fackler added the comment:

Is there any chance we could just have it work for bytes, ints, and floats? That'd solve the immediate need, and it'd be obviously correct how to have those behave.

Punting this to 3.5 basically means we'll have to either wait for 3.5, or do something awful like use cffi to grab sprintf to port Mercurial.
