Transform output format to a global state

This commit removes the format parameter from the mp_check
object and creates a module global variable instead.
This prevents thread safe usage of different mp_check objects
which should likely not present a big problem for now.
The reason for this change is effectively the very same,
the format was lost if an exit was triggered by a signal
handler (timeout in this example).
