Improve `printf`-style formatting docs for non-built-in types

Add a description about how Decimal behaves differently with format and % formatting in https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language

For __format__, Decimal is formatted with the highest possible precision as it is.

For % formatting, Decimal is converted to float before formatting.

These behaviors have not changed since they were added.

• The Decimal class was added in Python 2.4 (https://docs.python.org/2.4/whatsnew/whatsnew24.html).
• The __format__ method was added in Python 2.6 (https://docs.python.org/2.6/whatsnew/2.6.html).
