Subject: [PATCH] libintl.h: Add format argument attributes to gettext function prototypes

compiling glib-2.0 clang errors out with

error: format string is not a string literal

when these functions are used, it can be enforced that the format
arguments to these gettext* functions  be string literals, so that the compiler knows that it
always will be string literals
