Description

@kxrob

pyflakes v2.2.0 (on PY3.7) barks incorrectly on complex expressions in named placeholders of classic format strings - which are valid Python3 & Python2.
The bug was not in pyflakes v2.1.1 (on PY2.7 at least).
This test code produces the false errors shown below:

def f():
    da = datetime.date.today()
    six.print_("test %(da.strftime('%a %Y-%m-%d'))s" % EvalDict()) 

False errors:

x.py:9:16 '...' % ... has unsupported format character '('
x.py:9:16 '...' % ... has unsupported format character 'Y'
x.py:9:16 '...' % ... has unsupported format character 'm'
