[docs] [issue21071] struct.Struct.format is bytes, but should be str

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

A backwards-compatible way forward would be to preserve (and document) the “format” attribute as a byte string, and add a new attribute which is definitely a text string. Not sure of a good name; perhaps “Struct.text_format” or “format_str” is a start.
