maint: allow use of printf C99 integer size specifiers

Older systems that had issues with these like HP-UX and Solaris 8
are now obsolete, and can easily apply patches to provide support.
Also we've used %td since coreutils 9.1, with no reported issues.

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit-c99-printf-format): Remove to allow use of
%[jtz] size specifiers, which allows for cleaner code
by avoiding the need to cast to PRI?MAX etc.

# Disallow the C99 printf size specifiers %z and %j as they're not portable.
# The gnulib printf replacement does support them, however the printf
# replacement is not currently explicitly depended on by the gnulib error()

# formats but don't use the gnulib module as it is seen as overkill at present.
