Method format refactored to make it more maintenable, replacing the
switch by a function factory, that returns the appropiated function
given the character (d, i , f, j, s).
Also, performance when formatting an string that contains several
consecutive % symbols is improved. The test:
`const numSamples = 10000000;
const strPercents = '%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%s%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%i%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%';
var s;
console.time('Percents');
for (let i = 0; i < numSamples; i++) {
s = util.format(strPercents, 'test', 12);
}
console.timeEnd('Percents');`
Original time: 28399.708ms
After refactor: 23763.788ms
Improved: 16%
