Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting

* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter

* 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
