mem-pool: add mem_pool_strfmt()

Add a function for building a string, printf style, using a memory pool.
It uses the free space in the current block in the first attempt.  If
that suffices then the result can already be used without copying or
reformatting.

For strings that are significantly shorter on average than the block
size (ca. 1 MiB by default) this is the case most of the time, leading
to a better perfomance than a solution that doesn't access mem-pool
internals.
