Add parameterized position handling to printf(1).

Add a new %n$ option to change the order of the parameters as
done in the ksh93 builtin printf (among others).

For example:
%printf '%2$1d %1$s\n' one 2 three 4
2 one
4 three

The feature was written by Garret D'Amore under a
BSD license for Nexenta/illumos.
