[RFC PATCH 2/3] lib/vsprintf.c: append "..." if the *pb[l] output has been truncated.

[Maurizio Lombardi]

The *pb[l] format may generate a very long string that could exaust
the output buffer capacity;
when such event happens the output could be misleading,
it may appear valid but part of it has been truncated.

This patch modifies the bitmap_*_string() functions so they will append
"..." to the output to inform the user that a truncation happened.
