Simplify the checks for snprintf().

Do not check that the function is just available: first, it is in C99,
so the check almost certainly is a waste of time; second, the source
requires the function unconditionally; third, the subsequent "snprintf()
is suitable" check implies the "snprintf() is available" part anyway.
