Optimize bytearray % args

Issue #25399: Don't create temporary bytes objects: modify _PyBytes_Format() to
create work directly on bytearray objects.

* Rename _PyBytes_Format() to _PyBytes_FormatEx() just in case if something
  outside CPython uses it
* _PyBytes_FormatEx() now uses (char*, Py_ssize_t) for the input string, so
  bytearray_format() doesn't need tot create a temporary input bytes object
* Add use_bytearray parameter to _PyBytes_FormatEx() which is passed to
  _PyBytesWriter, to create a bytearray buffer instead of a bytes buffer

Most formatting operations are now between 2.5 and 5 times faster.
