/**
 * Convert a BigNumber to a formatted string representation.
 *
 * Syntax:
 *
 *    format(value)
 *    format(value, options)
 *    format(value, precision)
 *    format(value, fn)
 *
 * Where:
 *
 *    {number} value   The value to be formatted
 *    {Object} options An object with formatting options. Available options:
 *                     {string} notation
 *                         Number notation. Choose from:
 *                         'fixed'          Always use regular number notation.
 *                                          For example '123.40' and '14000000'
 *                         'exponential'    Always use exponential notation.
 *                                          For example '1.234e+2' and '1.4e+7'
 *                         'auto' (default) Regular number notation for numbers
 *                                          having an absolute value between
 *                                          `lower` and `upper` bounds, and uses
 *                                          exponential notation elsewhere.
 *                                          Lower bound is included, upper bound
 *                                          is excluded.
 *                                          For example '123.4' and '1.4e7'.
 *                     {number} precision   A number between 0 and 16 to round
 *                                          the digits of the number.
 *                                          In case of notations 'exponential' and
 *                                          'auto', `precision` defines the total
 *                                          number of significant digits returned.
 *                                          In case of notation 'fixed',
 *                                          `precision` defines the number of
 *                                          significant digits after the decimal 
 *                                          point. 
 *                                          `precision` is undefined by default.
 *                     {number} lowerExp    Exponent determining the lower boundary
 *                                          for formatting a value with an exponent
 *                                          when `notation='auto`. 
 *                                          Default value is `-3`.
 *                     {number} upperExp    Exponent determining the upper boundary
 *                                          for formatting a value with an exponent
 *                                          when `notation='auto`. 
 *                                          Default value is `5`.
 *    {Function} fn    A custom formatting function. Can be used to override the
 *                     built-in notations. Function `fn` is called with `value` as
 *                     parameter and must return a string. Is useful for example to
 *                     format all values inside a matrix in a particular way.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *    format(6.4);                                        // '6.4'
 *    format(1240000);                                    // '1.24e6'
 *    format(1/3);                                        // '0.3333333333333333'
 *    format(1/3, 3);                                     // '0.333'
 *    format(21385, 2);                                   // '21000'
 *    format(12e8, {notation: 'fixed'});                  // returns '1200000000'
 *    format(2.3,    {notation: 'fixed', precision: 4});  // returns '2.3000'
 *    format(52.8,   {notation: 'exponential'});          // returns '5.28e+1'
 *    format(12400,  {notation: 'engineering'});          // returns '12.400e+3'
 *
 * @param {BigNumber} value
 * @param {Object | Function | number} [options]
 * @return {string} str The formatted value
