LibWebView: Do not use AK::format to format search engine URLs

This is to prepare for custom search engines. If we use AK::format, it
would be trivial for a user (or bad actor) to come up with a template
search engine URL that ultimately crashes the browser due to internal
assertions in AK::format. For example:

    https://example.com/crash={1}

Rather than coming up with a complicated pre-format validator, let's
just not use AK::format. Custom URLs will signify their template query
parameters with "%s". So we can do the same with our built-in engines.
When it comes time to format the URL, we will do a simple string
replacement.
