util,console: handle symbols as defined in the spec

The `console` functions rely on the `util.format()` behavior. It
did not follow the whatwg spec when it comes to symbols in combination
with the %d, %i and %f format specifiers. Using a symbol argument in
combination with one of these specifiers resulted in an error instead
of returning `'NaN'`. This is now fixed by this patch.
