Prior to this PR, the
readout_format
trait was validated as a unicode in the{Float,Int}{,Range}Slider
widgets. If the format was not a valid d3 format, this lead to an exception being thrown client-side, but that exception wasn't visible to the user. This lead to issue #1544 .This PR adds a trait that validates that the format string is correctly formatted. The code for this PR is very much inspired by the format specifier parsing code in d3-format.
