Add __attribute__((printf)) to the compatibility functions we use under SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS=Y.

In practice this is redundant to the compiler's default printf format checking, since we mostly (entirely?) develop and test on platforms where SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS is not set. I'm doing this mainly for consistency with other code, now we don't need to think about why this particular case is different.

See c4582f93a26 (Add compat/snprintf.c for systems that return bogus, 2008-03-05) for the commit that added these functions.
