[issue9139] Add examples for str.format()

[Ezio Melotti]

New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com>:

The attached patch adds a section with examples about str.format() after http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language .
The patch needs some small improvements:
  1) the examples in the previous sections could be removed and/or a link to the new section could be added;
  2) the last example could be improved;
  3) another example using custom formats (e.g. for datetime) should be added;

I'd like to have this in 2.7 (Benjamin said it's OK), please review.
