This improves util.format() by returning more meaningful results
when using %s as specifier and any object as value. Besides that
BigInt will also be represented with an n at the end to indicate
that it's of type BigInt.

@Trott @vsemozhetbyt the documentation does not seem very intuitive
and I fail to find brief words to describe everything properly. It would
be great if you could have a look to suggest improvements.

Most format or inspect changes are treated as patch but this could
be considered semver-major even though I doubt that it would break anything. I would like to get the opinion of others on that and I'll trigger CITGM to see if anything pops up.

Docs LGTM. Sorry, I cannot think of any better wording for now.

Maybe use "except" instead of "besides" in the documentation?

@targos I updated it as suggested. I also slightly changed the defaults used while inspecting (that will only have influence when inspecting objects that have lots of elements in the most outer object).
