Add binary literal example to methods of SimulatesAmplitudes class

[Caffetaria]

Resolves #2603

[viathor]

The added comments document python, not cirq, so I think they are gratuitous. What's the reason for this PR?

[viathor]

As indicated by the function signature, the bitstrings are supposed to be good old python ints. All valid ways of writing int literals will work, not just 0b-prefixed binary literals.

[Caffetaria]

@viathor I made the changes to address #2603 (python3 does not allow leading zeroes for ints). Please let me know if I'm missing or misunderstanding something :)

[viathor]

I see. Thank you for the context. I suggest the following changes before we merge this:

• reword the comments to make it clear that these are mere examples and not the only supported way of specifying bitstrings,
• add a non-binary example, e.g. 32641, 0x7F81,
• fix the formatting errors.

@viathor Thanks for the feedback! I've made the changes. Hope this is fine?

Nearly there!

This needs to be indented by four spaces to align with the line above. Also, you can put "If inputting" on line 159 above that.

(Applies to the comment on lines 221-222 as well.)

@viathor Made these changes in the latest commit :)

[viathor]

I only meant a part of the "if inputting" line since there is an overall line length limit (and in any case we should stick to the rough right text boundary of the surrounding text). I'm approving this PR, but note that you will need to take care of this before the merge since at the moment the line-too-long issue makes the formatter and linter checks go red.

[Caffetaria]

Thanks! The last two recent commits resolve this (only 'if inputting' is on the previous line).
