Summary: string.zfill and unicode

Initial Comment:
This patch makes the function string.zfill work with 
unicode instances (and instances of str and unicode 
subclasses). Currently string.zfill(u"123", 10) 
results in "0000u'123'". With this patch the result is 
u'0000000123'.

Should zfill be made a real str und unicode method? I 
noticed that a zfill implementation is available in 
unicodeobject.c, but commented out.
