Summary: Fix PyTime.Format

Initial Comment:
currently PyTime.Format does not return proper values

for day of week and day of year.

This is because these are not set in the tm struct that

is given to _tcsftime

This patch fixes that by calling mktime to convert to a

time_t representation, and localtime to convert it back.

This is done because although day of week is available

in SYSTEMTIME as st.wDayOfWeek, day of year is not

available and it would be fairly complex to calculate

(I don't know another system function that will do this).

In addition, I increased the buffer size for the Format

for 256 (I was getting blank strings returned when

testing long format strings - see patch 808464 which

contains a test for PyTime.Format).
