Originally discussed in issue 6871. Even if an alignment of "<" is
specified, "=" is used if the padding character is "0".

>>> format(2, '0<20')
'00000000000000000002'
>>> format(2, '1<20')
'21111111111111111111'

This is a problem for at least float and integers.

This should probably be backported to 2.6 and 3.1, but I'll have to wait
and see how invasive the patch is.
