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.
