stdio-common: Introduce buffers for implementing printf

These buffers will eventually be used instead of FILE * objects
to implement printf functions.  The multibyte buffer is struct
__printf_buffer, the wide buffer is struct __wprintf_buffer.

To enable writing type-generic code, the header files
printf_buffer-char.h and printf_buffer-wchar_t.h define the
Xprintf macro differently, enabling Xprintf (buffer) to stand
for __printf_buffer and __wprintf_buffer as appropriate.  For
common cases, macros like Xprintf_buffer are provided as a more
syntactically convenient shortcut.

Buffer-specific flush callbacks are implemented with a switch
statement instead of a function pointer, to avoid hardening issues
similar to those of libio vtables.  struct __printf_buffer_as_file
is needed to support custom printf specifiers because the public
interface for that requires passing a FILE *, which is why there
is a trapdoor back from these buffers to FILE * streams.

Since the immediate user of these interfaces knows when processing
has finished, there is no flush callback for the end of processing,
only a flush callback for the intermediate buffer flush.
