This fixes two separate issues.
First, with the MSVC _snprintf implementations, the return value
is negative if the buffer wasn't large enough - this would in
the worst case lead to making iBufferUsed negative, writing before
the start of the buffer.
Secondly, when both iBufferUsed and iBufferLeft are accumulated,
one can't do "iBufferLeft -= iBufferUsed;". As an example,
say the buffer is 100 bytes in total and iBufferLeft is 40 and
iBufferUsed is 60. If SNPRINTF then writes 5 more bytes to the
buffer, iBufferUsed would be 65, but if we now do
"iBufferLeft -= iBufferUsed;" then iBufferLeft would end up as
-25 even though there's 35 bytes left in the buffer to use.
Therefore, we use a separate variable to store the return value
from the latest SNPRINTF call. This is checked to make sure it
wasn't negative, and only this amount is added to iBufferUsed
and subtracted from iBufferLeft.
This is the same pattern used in codec/encoder/core/src/utils.cpp.
strftime never returns negative numbers, so those calls don't
need as much checking.
Checking iBufferLeft > iBufferUsed does not make sense, since
this would stop writing into the buffer alredy after the buffer
is half full, when there is less space left than has been used.
The right check is iBufferLeft > 0.
This is required to make the order in the C++ virtual table
consistent in MSVC - previously the overloaded methods were
ordered differently in the vtable compared to the interface
declaration.
