[docs] [issue15952] format(value) and value.format() behave differently with unicode format

Eric V. Smith added the comment:
I believe the conversion is happening in Objects/abstract.c in PyObject_Format, around line 864, near this comment:
 /* Convert to unicode, if needed. Required if spec is unicode
 and result is str */
I think changing the docs will result in more confusion than clarity, but if you can come up with some good wording, I'd be okay with it. I think changing the code will likely break things with little or no benefit.
