    Require a C99-compliant snprintf(), and remove related workarounds. · e1d19c90

    Since our substitute snprintf now returns a C99-compliant result,
    there's no need anymore to have complicated code to cope with pre-C99
    behavior.  We can just make configure substitute snprintf.c if it finds
    that the system snprintf() is pre-C99.  (Note: I do not believe that
    there are any platforms where this test will trigger that weren't
    already being rejected due to our other C99-ish feature requirements for
    snprintf.  But let's add the check for paranoia's sake.)  Then, simplify
    the call sites that had logic to cope with the pre-C99 definition.
    
    I also dropped some stuff that was being paranoid about the possibility
    of snprintf overrunning the given buffer.  The only reports we've ever
    heard of that being a problem were for Solaris 7, which is long dead,
    and we've sure not heard any reports of these assertions triggering in
    a long time.  So let's drop that complexity too.
    
    Likewise, drop some code that wasn't trusting snprintf to set errno
    when it returns -1.  That would be not-per-spec, and again there's
    no real reason to believe it is a live issue, especially not for
    snprintfs that pass all of configure's feature checks.
