C-style memory management is a pain and nearly nobody seems to get
it right. Add a C++-version of membuffer that frees the buffer
when it gets out-of-scope. Originally, I was thinking about
conditionally adding a constructor/destructor pair when compiling
with C++. But then decided to create a derived class membufferpp,
because it would be extremely confusing to have behavioral change
when changing a source from from C to C++ or vice-versa.
Also add a comment about the dangers of returned pointer: They
become dangling on changes to the membuffer.

Move duplicate code, which reads '*' arguments from va_list into
parse_fmt_int() function. To pass pointers-to-va_list, the va_list
has to be copied first.

qthelper.cpp is already quite voluminous. Move the recently
introduced localized versions of (v)snprintf() and put_format()
into their own translation unit.
Moreover, adopt C-style semantics for asprintf_loc(). This function
will be used to remove fixed-size buffers in core/plannernotes.c.
