In the old days this wasn't portable, since some sprintf
implementations returned char *.  But they died out years ago and
Emacs already assumes sprintf returns int.
Similarly for float_to_string.
This patch speeds up (number-to-string 1000) by 3% on Fedora 15 x86-64.
* ccl.c (ccl_driver):
* character.c (string_escape_byte8):
* data.c (Fnumber_to_string):
* doprnt.c (doprnt):
* print.c (print_object):
* xdisp.c (message_dolog):
* xfns.c (syms_of_xfns):
Use sprintf or float_to_string result to avoid need to call strlen.
* data.c (Fnumber_to_string):
Use make_unibyte_string, since the string must be ASCII.
* lisp.h, print.c (float_to_string): Now returns int length.
* term.c (produce_glyphless_glyph):
Use sprintf result rather than recomputing it.
