json_pointer: add json_pointer_getf/setf() function variants

These include support for printf() style args for path.

Adds support for calling with 'json_pointer_getf(obj, &res, "/foo/%d/%s", 0, bar)'
style args.

Makes it easier for doing more dynamic stuff/magic, without
needing to use vasprintf() externally.
