[PATCH v2 04/15] vsprintf: introduce %m shorthand for "%s", strerror(errno)

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We have many places across the code base that use either do
printf("%s..", errno_str()) or printf("%s..", strerror(errno).
We already have %pe support for printing arbitrary errors and it's not
much work to add %m to print errno as well. Do so.
