MINOR: standard: add a memprintf() function to build formatted error messages

memprintf() is just like snprintf() except that it always returns a properly
sized allocated string that the caller is responsible for freeing. NULL is
returned on serious errors. It also supports stackable calls over the same
pointer since it offers support for automatically freeing a previous one :

     memprintf(&err, "invalid argument: '%s'", arg);
     ...
     memprintf(&err, "keyword parser said: <%s>", *err);
     ...
     memprintf(&err, "line parser said: %s\n", *err);
     ...
     free(*err);
