The wrappers ensure that ``str[size-1]`` is always ``'\0'`` upon return. They
never write more than *size* bytes (including the trailing ``'\0'``) into str.
Both functions require that ``str != NULL``, ``size > 0``, ``format != NULL``
and ``size < INT_MAX``.
and ``size < INT_MAX``. Note that this means there is no equivalent to the C99
``n = snprintf(NULL, 0, ...)`` which would determine the necessary buffer size.
The return value (*rv*) for these functions should be interpreted as follows:

the last byte of the buffer to \0. At least MS _vsnprintf returns a
negative value instead, and fills the entire buffer with non-\0 data.
Unlike C99, our wrappers do not support passing a null buffer.
The wrappers ensure that str[size-1] is always \0 upon return.
