maint: avoid remaining sprintf uses

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sprintf): New rule.
(sc_prohibit_asprintf): Avoid false positives.
* docs/hacking.html.in (Printf-style functions): Document the
policy.
* HACKING: Regenerate.
* .x-sc_prohibit_sprintf: New exemptions.
* Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Ship new file.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxStartMachine, vboxAttachUSB): Use
virAsprintf instead.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlOpenMonitor): Use snprintf instead.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdDetachInterface): Likewise.
* src/security/security_selinux.c (SELinuxGenSecurityLabel):
Likewise.
* src/openvz/openvz_driver.c (openvzDomainDefineCmd): Likewise,
and ensure large enough buffer.

This makes it so gcc's -Wformat and -Wformat-security options can do their
jobs and cross-check format strings with the number and types of arguments.
When printing to a string, consider using virBuffer for incremental
allocations, virAsprintf for a one-shot allocation, and snprintf for
fixed-width buffers. Do not use sprintf, even if you can prove the buffer
won't overflow, since gnulib does not provide the same portability guarantees
for sprintf as it does for snprintf.
