[PULL 14/29] enforce use of G_GNUC_PRINTF attributes

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

We've been very gradually adding G_GNUC_PRINTF annotations
to functions over years. This has been useful in detecting
certain malformed printf strings, or cases where we pass
user data as the printf format which is a potential security
flaw.

Given the inherant memory corruption danger in use of format
strings vs mis-matched variadic arguments, it is worth applying
G_GNUC_PRINTF to all functions using printf, even if we know
they are safe.

The compilers can reasonably reliably identify such places
with the -Wsuggest-attribute=format / -Wmissing-format-attribute
flags.
