x86_64-pc-windows-msvc doesn't export the snprintf symbol, only the vsnprintf symbol. This means we need to define out own snprintf implementation which captures va_args correctly.

This wrapper actually doesn't seem necessary; using snprintf directly works.

Could be related to

Beginning with the UCRT in Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10, snprintf is no longer identical to _snprintf. The snprintf function behavior is now C99 standard compliant.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/snprintf-snprintf-snprintf-l-snwprintf-snwprintf-l?view=vs-2019

so perhaps before VS2015 this name was a macro pointing towards _snprintf?

I'm not sure, at least at the time, this didn't work. When I read the msvcrt header files I found that it was an inline method identical to the one in this PR.
