Issue #14744: Use the new _PyUnicodeWriter internal API to speed up str%args and str.format(args)
* Formatting string, int, float and complex use the _PyUnicodeWriter API. It avoids a temporary buffer in most cases. * Add _PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr() to restore the PyAccu optimization: just keep a reference to the string if the output is only composed of one string * Disable overallocation when formatting the last argument of str%args and str.format(args) * Overallocation allocates at least 100 characters: add min_length attribute to the _PyUnicodeWriter structure * Add new private functions: _PyUnicode_FastCopyCharacters(), _PyUnicode_FastFill() and _PyUnicode_FromASCII() The speed up is around 20% in average.
