use gcc's printf __attribute__

[Jim Meyering <meyering@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I noticed that there are a few printf-like functions here,
but that they don't benefit from gcc's format-string vs. arg-type
checking.  Here's a patch to enable that:

However, to make it portable to non-gcc systems, this block
of cpp directives needs to go somewhere (maybe libvirt.h?)
so it'll be used from both files.

#ifndef __attribute__
/* This feature is available in gcc versions 2.5 and later.  */
# if __GNUC__ < 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 5)
#  define __attribute__(Spec) /* empty */
# endif
/* The __-protected variants of `format' and `printf' attributes
   are accepted by gcc versions 2.6.4 (effectively 2.7) and later.  */
# if __GNUC__ < 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 7)
#  define __format__ format
#  define __printf__ printf
# endif
#endif

	* src/virsh.c (vshPrint, vshError): Add gcc's __printf__ attribute.
	* src/xml.h (virBufferVSprintf): Likewise.
