[RFA 01/12] Introduce string_vprintf

[RFA 01/12] Introduce string_vprintf

[Tom Tromey]

This adds string_vprintf, a va_list variant of string_printf.  This
will be used in later patches.

gdb/ChangeLog
2017-09-28  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* common/common-utils.c (string_vprintf): New function.
	* common/common-utils.h (string_vprintf): Declare.

[RFA 00/12] some minor cleanup removals

[Tom Tromey]

This removes a number of cleanups, generally string related.

I introduced string_vprintf to allow the use of std::string in some of
these patches.

The final patch just removes a couple of unused declarations; I would
have checked it in as obvious, but it was more convenient to just
leave it in this series.

Please use copy initialization:

  std::string linebuffer = string_vprintf (format, args);

... to spare readers from wondering what explicit/converting
constructor this is trying to call.

OK.

The cp_remove_param-related changes reminded me of:

I didn't see that so I just made a new file.
There isn't much there; I didn't think it made sense to write a
comprehensive printf test suite for this function.  I can add more if
you think this isn't enough.
