[Bug runtime/7051] New: printf %n directive broken

["fche at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

ksebasti found several issues with this widget:

printf ("%n%4d", 0) prints 0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
printf ("%n%n%n") prints junk
printf ("%n") prints junk

If we keep %n around at all, it needs to compose sensibly.
We could make it mean "total record length", so that the
previous three cases would print

printf ("%n%4d", 0) would print 0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
printf ("%n%n%n") would print 0x03 0x03 0x03
printf ("%n") would print 0x01
