update format_string and format_bytes to compute padding sizes and allocate
padding through fallible operations that propagate Python MemoryError before
allocation failure can panic or abort. Preserve normal formatting behavior for
valid sizes and the parser’s accepted maximum-width contract.

index for both precision and width overflow cases, using the expected source
positions in addition to validating the error types and messages.

Preserve recoverable behavior for accepted maximum widths.
Line 313 accepts isize::MAX. A format such as %{isize::MAX}s can then reach infallible padding allocations in format_string or format_bytes. Allocation failure can panic or abort the interpreter instead of producing a Python MemoryError.
Keep the parser limit. Add a fallible allocation path that can propagate the Python exception before allocating the padding.
As per coding guidelines, “Use Rust best practices for error handling and memory management.”

Assert the error source indices.
The test constructs CFormatError with each returned index, but to_string() does not use that field for these errors. A wrong index will pass this test.

Testing
This follows the separate width and precision overflow checks in CPython 3.14 Objects/bytesobject.c and Objects/unicodeobject.c.
