Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] Support "j" length modifier in snprintf.c.

POSIX has for a long time defined the "j" length modifier for
printf conversions as meaning the size of intmax_t or uintmax_t.
We got away without supporting that so far, but there are good
reasons to start doing so now:

* On some platforms, <inttypes.h> defines PRIdMAX as "jd",
so that snprintf.c falls over if that is used.

* Commit e6be84356 re-introduced upstream's use of PRIdMAX
into zic.c.  (We hadn't noticed yet because it would only
become apparent if bad data was fed to zic, resulting in
an error report.)

We could revert that decision from our copy of zic.c, but
on the whole it seems better to update snprintf.c to support
this standard modifier.  There might well be extensions,
now or in future, that expect it to work.

I did this in the lazy man's way of translating "j" to either
"l" or "ll" depending on a compile-time sizeof() check, just
as was done long ago to support "z" for size_t.  One could
imagine promoting intmax_t to have full support in snprintf.c,
for example converting fmtint()'s value argument and internal
arithmetic to use [u]intmax_t not [unsigned] long long.  But
that'd be more work and I'm hesitant to do it anyway: if there
are any platforms out there where intmax_t is actually wider
than "long long", this would doubtless result in a noticeable
speed penalty to snprintf().  Let's not go there until we have
positive evidence that there's a reason to, and some way to
measure what size of penalty we're taking.
