[issue6783] Add a builtin method to 'int' for base/radix conversion

[Mark Dickinson]

This seems like the sort of idea that should be floated on the python-
ideas mailing list or comp.lang.python first, both to find out what 
support there is and to pin down precise semantics.

We already have int to string conversions in bases 2, 8, 10 and 16;  what 
are the use-cases for conversions in other bases?
