Implicit declaration of function 'vsnprintf'

[Kerl13]

When compiling the argtable3.c file produced by tools/build dist (as of fe70fd5) with gcc version 10.2.0, I get the following warning:

$ cc --version

argtable3.c: In function 'arg_dstr_catf':
argtable3.c:1104:13: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vsnprintf'; did you mean 'vsprintf'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 1104 |         r = vsnprintf(buff, n + 1, fmt, arglist);
      |             ^~~~~~~~~
      |             vsprintf

From the man page, vsnprintf seems to only be available starting from C99

@Kerl13 , you're right, vsnprintf seems to be a new C standard function. Would you mind providing a patch, so that it can work in older compilers? Thanks.

I can look into this! But maybe not before one week or two when I have more time
