utilize the added vscnprintf functions to avoid buffer overruns
The implementation is fairly dumb in that it doesn't detect
that the buffer is too small, but at least will not cause crashes.

Changes in v2:
- Use sizeof(printbuffer) instead of CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE
- Drop patch which changes network code to use snprintf()
