Add support to port/snprintf.c for position parameter specification:

+ # Determine if printf supports %1$ argument selection, e.g. %5$ selects
+ # the fifth argument after the printf print string.
+ # This is not in the C99 standard, but in the Single Unix Specification (SUS).
+ # It is used in our langauge translation strings.
