This adds a reference anchor to circular structures when using

This makes sure that `util.format` uses `String` to stringify an object
in case the object has an own property named `toString` with type
`function`. That way objects that do not have such function are still
inspected using `util.inspect` and the old behavior is preserved as
well.

Using `util.inspect` on errors is going to highlight userland and
node_module stack frames from now on. This is done by marking Node.js
core frames grey and frames that contain `node_modules` in their path
yellow.
That way it's easy to grasp what frames belong to what code.

This changes the `compact` default from `true` to `3`. That mode
changes arrays to be grouped together, it alignes multiple small
entries on a single line in similar to `compact` true but only for
the most inner three depth levels and the closing brackets are
always on the same indentation as the openeing of the object instead
of at the same line as another property.
Big strings will be naturally broken into multiple lines instead of
having one huge line that is not well readable.
The output size mainly stays the same that way while it will be
smaller in case of big arrays.
Increasing the `breakLength` to 80 adjusts for most terminals that
support at least 80 characters in a single line and improves the
general output that way. A lot of calculations use the `breakLength`
to determine the concrete behavior.

Two changes here which bring us closer to the console standard:
- Arguments to `util.format` are no longer formatted differently
depending on their order, with format strings being an exception.
- Format specifier formatting is now only triggered if the string
actually contains a format string.
Under the hood, we now use a single shared function to format the given
arguments which will make the code easier to read and modify.
