[PATCH 2/4] vsprintf: add %pe format specifier for printing symbolic error names

Starting with v5.5, Linux has a format specifier for printing error
pointers. We have had strerror in barebox before that, but lets wire it
into vsprintf with the same format specifier that Linux now uses.

This yields less verbose call sites and makes Linux drivers more portable
to barebox in future. This also has the potential to reduce code size as
the previously "inlined" strerror at callsites can now be replaced by
a single vsprintf.
