replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy calls with xstrfmt

It's a common pattern to do:

  foo = xmalloc(strlen(one) + strlen(two) + 1 + 1);
  sprintf(foo, "%s %s", one, two);

(or possibly some variant with strcpy()s or a more
complicated length computation).  We can switch these to use
xstrfmt, which is shorter, involves less error-prone manual
computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which
make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.
