compat: Use table.pack (there since Lua 5.2) over our util.table Added in d278a770eddc avoid having to deal with its absence in Lua 5.1. No longer needed when Lua 5.1 support is dropped.

-- A string.format wrapper that gracefully handles invalid arguments since
-- certain format string and argument combinations may cause errors or other
-- issues like log spoofing

-- Provides some protection from e.g. CAPEC-135, CWE-117, CWE-134, CWE-93
