[issue1588] str.format() wrongly formats complex() numbers (Py30a2)

See the attached patch. Comments welcome.

I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing with 'g' and appending zeros:
>>> format(3+4j, '.2')
'(3+4j)'
>>> format(3+4j, '.2g')
'3.0+4.0j'
>>> format(3+0j, '.2')
'(3+0j)'
>>> format(3+0j, '.2g')
'3.0+0.0j'
>>> format(1j, '.2')
'(1j)'
>>> format(1j, '.2g')
'0.0+1.0j'
