Tom Lane 6fa431d84a Use libc's snprintf, not sprintf, for special cases in snprintf.c.
snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation
when printing pointers (%p) and floats.  When this code originated,
we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf,
so we used sprintf for that.  That's not actually unsafe in our usage,
but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf
being unconditionally deprecated; and I wouldn't be surprised if other
platforms follow suit.  There seems little reason to believe that any
platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf,
so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings.

Back-patch to v12, which is where we started to require C99.  It's
also where we started to use our snprintf.c everywhere, so this
wouldn't be enough to suppress the warning in older branches anyway
--- that is, in older branches these aren't necessarily all our
usages of libc's sprintf.  It is enough in v12+ because any
deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to
pg_sprintf.  (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately
safe is not a matter I intend to address here, but perhaps it could
do with some review.)

Per report from Andres Freund and local testing.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
