Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting
* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more appropriate * Fix references to various format() functions and methods * Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers, and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance

To convert, e.g., the number 144 to the string '144', use the built-in type
constructor :func:`str`. If you want a hexadecimal or octal representation, use
the built-in functions :func:`hex` or :func:`oct`. For fancy formatting, see
-the :ref:`string-formatting` section, e.g. ``"{:04d}".format(144)`` yields
+the :ref:`formatstrings` section, e.g. ``"{:04d}".format(144)`` yields
``'0144'`` and ``"{:.3f}".format(1.0/3.0)`` yields ``'0.333'``.
