Remove the const qualifier from ap argument for __v2printf, that induced
that breakage, and seems to be the real reason for bad code. ap is modified
inside the __v2printf body by va_arg macro.

i386 with default optimization level (-O2), va_list pointer ap in the
__v2printf function is advanced before the use. That cause argument
shift and garbage instead last argument in printf-family when xprintf is
activated.
The nsswitch is easy victim of the bug.

Add %M{essage} extension which prints an errno value as the
corresponding string if possible or numerically otherwise.
It is not currently possible to do the syslog(3) like %m extension
because errno would need to get capatured on entry to the first
function in the printf family, so %M requires you to supply errno
as an argument.
Add %Q{uote} extension which will print a string in double quotes with
appropriate back-slash escapes (only) if necessary.
on probationary terms: it may go away again if it transpires it is
a bad idea.
This extensible printf version will only be used if either
environment variable USE_XPRINTF is defined
or
one of the extension functions are called.
or
the global variable __use_xprintf is set greater than zero.
In all other cases our traditional printf implementation will
be used.
The extensible version is slower than the default printf, mostly
because less opportunity for combining I/O operation exists when
faced with extensions. The default printf on the other hand
is a bad case of spaghetti code.
The extension API has a GLIBC compatible part and a FreeBSD version
of same. The FreeBSD version exists because the GLIBC version may
run afoul of our FILE * locking in multithreaded programs and it
even further eliminate the opportunities for combining I/O operations.
Include three demo extensions which can be enabled if desired: time
(%T), hexdump (%H) and strvis (%V).
%T can format time_t (%T), struct timeval (%lT) and struct timespec (%llT)
in one of two human readable duration formats:
"%.3llT" -> "20349.245"
"%#.3llT" -> "5h39m9.245"
%H will hexdump a sequence of bytes and takes a pointer and a length
argument. The width specifies number of bytes per line.
"%4H" -> "65 72 20 65"
"%+4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65"
"%#4H" -> "65 72 20 65 |er e|"
"%+#4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65 |er e|"
%V will dump a string in strvis format.
"%V" -> "Hello\tWor\377ld" (C-style)
"%0V" -> "Hello\011Wor\377ld" (octal)
"%+V" -> "Hello%09Wor%FFld" (http-style)
Tests, comments, bugreports etc are most welcome.
