util: Add xa{v}sprintf_append functions

Add variadic and va_list functions, xa{v}sprintf, which appends a
formatted string to an existing string and re-allocate the string buffer
if necessary. xasprintf becomes just a special case of xasprintf_append
with a NULL starting string.

Rather than looping to get a big enough buffer, simply the implementation
by assuming we have a C99 compliant vsnprintf implementation to return the
necessary size. A side effect is glibc 2.0 support is dropped which seems
unnecessary.
