add xsnprintf helper function
There are a number of places in the code where we call sprintf(), with the assumption that the output will fit into the buffer. In many cases this is true (e.g., formatting a number into a large buffer), but it is hard to tell immediately from looking at the code. It would be nice if we had some run-time check to make sure that our assumption is correct (and to communicate to readers of the code that we are not blindly calling sprintf, but have actually thought about this case). This patch introduces xsnprintf, which behaves just like snprintf, except that it dies whenever the output is truncated. This acts as a sort of assert() for these cases, which can help find places where the assumption is violated (as opposed to truncating and proceeding, which may just silently give a wrong answer).
