JDK-8198918 - jio_snprintf and friends are not checked by -Wformat
Description
In VMError::error_string there is a use of jio_snprintf that prints a pointer.  It uses PTR_FORMAT, which is correct. But it uses the pointer directly as the argument, rather than using the `p2i` helper function. It happens to accidentally work, but is warning about if gcc's printf checking is enabled for that call.
