Barry Warsaw b2dd86defe PyOS_vsnprintf(): Change PyMem_Malloc() call to PyMem_MALLOC() macro,
(ditto for PyMem_Free() -> PyMem_FREE()) to fix and close SF bug
#495875 on systems that HAVE_SNPRINTF=0.

Check in on both release-22 branch and trunk.

/* snprintf() wrappers. If the platform has vsnprintf, we use it, else we
emulate it in a half-hearted way. Even if the platform has it, we wrap
it because platforms differ in what vsnprintf does in case the buffer
is too small: C99 behavior is to return the number of characters that
would have been written had the buffer not been too small, and to set
the last byte of the buffer to \0. At least MS _vsnprintf returns a
negative value instead, and fills the entire buffer with non-\0 data.
The wrappers ensure that str[size-1] is always \0 upon return.
PyOS_snprintf and PyOS_vsnprintf never write more than size bytes
(including the trailing '\0') into str.
If the platform doesn't have vsnprintf, and the buffer size needed to
avoid truncation exceeds size by more than 512, Python aborts with a
Py_FatalError.
Return value (rv):
When 0 <= rv < size, the output conversion was unexceptional, and
rv characters were written to str (excluding a trailing \0 byte at
str[rv]).
When rv >= size, output conversion was truncated, and a buffer of
size rv+1 would have been needed to avoid truncation. str[size-1]
is \0 in this case.
When rv < 0, "something bad happened". str[size-1] is \0 in this
case too, but the rest of str is unreliable. It could be that
an error in format codes was detected by libc, or on platforms
with a non-C99 vsnprintf simply that the buffer wasn't big enough
to avoid truncation, or on platforms without any vsnprintf that
PyMem_Malloc couldn't obtain space for a temp buffer.
CAUTION: Unlike C99, str != NULL and size > 0 are required.
