[3.15] gh-85943: Fix BytesWarning in the struct format cache under -bb (GH-153627) (GH-153834)

Normalize bytes format strings to str before using them as the cache key,
so that equal str and bytes formats no longer collide and get compared.
(cherry picked from commit 190d2ffbb969ad571fd12d4988b37519091194d5)
