This is our own version of asprintf(). This original code was written by
Mike Frysinger, and I was able to modify it to use our memory helper
functions.
We need a version of this code because it is not available on glibc at
least without defining _GNU_SOURCE, and I would rather not do that.
This is the first step in improving string handling in OpenRC for #207.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

Many of these helpers are not special to librc, so split them out so they
can be used in all source trees (including libeinfo).
