snprintf.c hammering memset()

Hello hackers,

Mateusz Guzik was benchmarking PostgreSQL on FreeBSD investigating the
kqueue thread and complained off-list about a lot of calls to memset()
of size 256KB from dopr() in our snprintf.c code.

Yeah, that says:

    PrintfArgType argtypes[NL_ARGMAX + 2];
...
    MemSet(argtypes, 0, sizeof(argtypes));

PrintfArgType is an enum, and we define NL_ARGMAX as 16 if the OS
didn't already define it.  On FreeBSD 11, NL_ARGMAX was defined as 99
in <limits.h>.  On FreeBSD 12, it is defined as 65536... ouch.  On a
Debian box I see it is 4096.

Is there any reason to use the OS definition here?
