demux_mf: improve format string processing

Before this commit, the user could specify a printf format string
which wasn't verified, and could result in:
- Undefined behavior due to missing or non-matching arguments.
- Buffer overflow due to untested result length.

The offending code was added at commit 103a9609 (2002, mplayer svn):
git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@4566 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2

It moved around but was not modified meaningfully until now.

Now we reject all conversion specifiers at the format except %%
and a simple subset of the valid specifiers. Also, we now use
snprintf to avoid buffer overflow.

The format string is provided by the user as part of mf:// URI.

Report and initial patch by Stefan Schiller.
