[PATCH 4/4] os/log: refactor logging

It is not safe to ever use an arbitrary (possibly user supplied) string as
part of the format for a *sprintf() call.

For example:
  1. Name a Bluetooth keyboard "%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n"
  2. Pair it with a computer running X and try to use it
  3. X is not happy when trying to do the following in xf86-input-evdev:
     xf86IDrvMsg(pInfo, X_CONFIG, "Device: \"%s\"\n", device);
     because LogVHdrMessageVerb() has put the %n from the device name
     into a format string.

Instead, build up a log message in place by appending successive formatted
strings by sncprintf'ing to the end of the previous.
