    gdb/elfread: remove use of sprintf
    
    When building on macOS, I get:
    
        /Users/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/elfread.c:813:3: error: 'sprintf' is deprecated: This function is provided for compatibility reasons only.  Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead. [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
          813 |   sprintf (name_got_plt, "%s" SYMBOL_GOT_PLT_SUFFIX, name);
              |   ^
    
    Change this use of sprintf with an std::string, which also allows
    getting rid of a use of alloca.
