printf-hook-builtin: Avoid leaking stack contents when printing very long strings

Because `builtin_vsnprintf()` returns the length of the (theoretically)
produced string even if the buffer is too small, the `fwrite()` calls
would read past the buffer.  While it rarely happens that log messages
are even close to the current buffer size, it might get triggered by an
overlong IKE/EAP identity or similar.

For `vasprintf()`, the allocation for the complete required length is
now correctly handled (capped at `INT_MAX` as that's what
`builtin_vsnprintf()` can technically return).

Also fixed is an incorrect mapping of the return value of `fwrite()` in
case of an error.  While the latter returns the elements written so far,
the expected return value from `vfprintf()` is negative.

Fixes: cabe5c0ff4 ("printf-hook-builtin: Add a new "builtin" backend using its own printf() routines")
