Description:
Converts numbers into nicely formated strings.

Parameters:
0: NUMBER - Input number
1: STRING - Output type (see case statement)
2: BOOL   - If output type is mil, convert input type from deg->mil

Returns:
STRING - Formatted number

Example:
[45, "mil4", true] call ace_mk6mortar_fnc_dev_formatNumber = "0800"
