test: make url-util-format engine agnostic

test-util-format checks the message of an error that is
generated by the JavaScript engine. Error messages that change in the
underlying JavaScript engine should not be breaking changes in Node.js
and therefore should not cause tests to fail. Remove the message check
and replace it with a check of the type of the Error object along with
the absence of a `code` property. (If a `code` property were present, it
would indicate that the error was coming from Node.js rather than the
JavaScript engine.)

This also makes this test usable without modification in the ChakraCore
fork of Node.js.
