In the master branch, we require versions of Visual Studio that support a
C99-compatible snprintf(), and we also require C99-compatible snprintf()
support on UN*Xes.
Earlier versions 1) had pcap_snprintf() and 2) either declared it and provided
it, or just #defined pcap_snprintf to be snprintf.
Note that #914 also uses structure initializations that initialize fields by
name, which is also a C99-ism and which I think sufficiently recent versions of
Visual Studio support; I'm OK with requiring support for that (1990 called, it
wants its C standard back...).
