xsnprintf: various improvements related to xvsnprintf() and xsnprintf()

Summary of changes:

* Make xvsnprintf() static
* restrict-qualify pointer arguments (as done by the libc equivalents)
* Make comments and spec references more thorough
* Remove pointless `n <= INT_MAX` assertion (see comment)
* Use FATAL_ERROR() instead of xassert() (since the assertion is inside
  a shared util function but the caller is responsible for ensuring the
  condition holds true)
* Change some callers to use size_t instead of int for the return value
  (negative returns are impossible and all subsequent uses are size_t)

The updated comments and code were taken (and adapted) from:
