at least in the first two characters.  %p is ill-defined, and people will
forever commit bad tests otherwise ("bad" in the sense that they fall
over (at least on Windows) for lack of a leading '0x'; 5 of the 7 tests
in test_repr.py failed on Windows for that reason this time around).

Also added a new test case for testing repr truncation fixes.

Closes patch #454743.

    PyErr_Format() these new C API methods can be used instead of
    sprintf()'s into hardcoded char* buffers.  This allows us to fix
    many situation where long package, module, or class names get
    truncated in reprs.

    PyString_FromFormat() is the varargs variety.
    PyString_FromFormatV() is the va_list variety

    Original PyErr_Format() code was modified to allow %p and %ld
    expansions.

    Many reprs were converted to this, checkins coming soo.  Not

    int_repr().  There may be other candidates not yet converted.

This started with a nonsensical error msg:

>>> x**(-sys.maxint-1L)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: negative number cannot be raised to a fractional power

The special-casing in float_pow was simply wrong in this case (there's
not even anything peculiar about these inputs), and I don't see any point
to it in *any* case:  a decent libm pow should have worst-case error under
1 ULP, so in particular should deliver the exact result whenever the exact
result is representable (else its error is at least 1 ULP).  Thus our
special fiddling for integral values "shouldn't" buy anything in accuracy,
and, to the contrary, repeated multiplication is less accurate than a
decent pow when the true result isn't exactly representable.  So just
letting pow() do its job here (we may not be able to trust libm x-platform
in exceptional cases, but these are normal cases).

This implements the 'getset' class from test_binop.py.
