lib/printbuf: New data structure for printing strings

This adds printbufs: a printbuf points to a char * buffer and knows the
size of the output buffer as well as the current output position.

Future patches will be adding more features to printbuf, but initially
printbufs are targeted at refactoring and improving our existing code in
lib/vsprintf.c - so this initial printbuf patch has the features
required for that.
