[Python-3000] Implementing % formatting in terms of str.format()

[Guido van Rossum]

I thought I had a reasonable proposal: deprecate in 3.1, remove in
3.3. Adding a PendingDeprecationWarning in 3.0 would be fine. Doing
anything in 2.6 would not be fine, except perhaps making it a
PendingDeprecationWarning whan -3 is given.
