[Python-3000] Adding __format__ to object

[Guido van Rossum]

Paul's right. I agree it's confusing that object and type are both
defined in the same file (though there's probably a good reason, given
that type is derived from object and object is an instance of type
:-). To add methods to object, add them to object_methods in that
file. I've tested this.
