Replace all snprintf() calls with M_snprintf().

The Windows API has an _snprintf function that is not the same as
Unix's snprintf(): if the string is truncated then no trailing NUL
character is appended. This makes the function unsafe. Define a
replacement/wrapper called M_snprintf that works the same but always
appends a trailing NUL, for safety on Windows and other OSes that
behave like this.

Do the same thing for vsnprintf(), and update HACKING to list
snprintf/vsnprintf as forbidden functions. This fixes #375;
thanks to Quasar for pointing out the different behavior of these
functions.
