stdlib: Allow lists with binaries in the Format argument
As a consequence of some refactoring (OTP-14983, option 'chars_limit'), the Format argument of io_lib:format() no longer accepts binaries in lists in Erlang/OTP 21.0. Note that if Format is not of type io:format(), control sequences in Format are ignored. This can result in unpredictable behaviour if, for example, the output of io_lib:format() is used as Format: if the output happens to be a string(), then control sequences are interpreted, otherwise not. A check that Format is of type io:format() will likely be introduced in Erlang/OTP 22.0. That will probably mean work for some users, but considering how unpredictable io_lib:format() is, we should try to fix that.
