shared: add str_printf()
asprintf() has the problem that it leaves *strp undefined when it
fails. Here is a simple wrapper that ensures NULL if asprintf() fails,
which is much more convenient to use.
This will be useful in future patches, where one needs to return error
messages from maybe failing functions, and more.
