[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 3/5] Add safe vsnprintf and snprintf library functions

From: Sonny Rao <sonnyrao at chromium.org>

These functions are useful in U-Boot because they allow a graceful failure
rather than an unpredictable stack overflow when printf() buffers are
exceeded.

Mostly copied from the Linux kernel. I copied vscnprintf and
scnprintf so we can change printf and vprintf to use the safe
implementation but still return the correct values.

(Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org> modified this commit a little)

Changes in v3:
- Add CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINT option to enable vsnprintf() functions
- Update README with CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINT docs
- Use ADDCH macro to support checking/not checking end pointer

Changes in v4:
- Add these changes in unless CONFIG_NO_SYS_VSNPRINT is defined
- Reduce code size overhead if disabled to only 4 bytes on ARM
- Remove the ugly #ifdef patch from series since it only saves 4 bytes
