Like formatSize, but more generic. Returns a human-readable format
of an integer using metric prefixes. The caller is expected to append any
unit string if necessary.

@param {integer} n The number to format.
@param {Object} [opts={}] Formatting options. These include:
- {integer} [maxLen] Max number of digits in the output.
- {integer} [base=1000] Base for the prefixes (usually 1000 or 1024).
- {string} [sep=''] Separator between numeric value and metric prefix.
