Always use our own versions of *printf().

We've spent an awful lot of effort over the years in coping with
platform-specific vagaries of the *printf family of functions.  Let's just
forget all that mess and standardize on always using src/port/snprintf.c.
This gets rid of a lot of configure logic, and it will allow a saner
approach to dealing with %m (though actually changing that is left for
a follow-on patch).

Preliminary performance testing suggests that as it stands, snprintf.c is
faster than the native printf functions for some tasks on some platforms,
and slower for other cases.  A pending patch will improve that, though
cases with floating-point conversions will doubtless remain slower unless
we want to put a *lot* of effort into that.  Still, we've not observed
that *printf is really a performance bottleneck for most workloads, so
I doubt this matters much.

Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier
