Refactor fmt_human() and fix a bug

It is not necessary to copy memory or anything. Just keep a pointer to
the active prefix-array and assign the length of the arrays to a
variable.

Make the code more readable by using a switch, be more strict when an
invalid base is passed to it and fix a small oversight in the bottom of
the code where the base 1024 was forgotten to generalized.
