Use __attribute__((format...)) for printf-style methods

    Description

      This would help us by having the compiler catch errors in format strings.

      The drawback is that it requires us to cast all pointers in printf style arguments. See this email thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2013-December/010266.html
