Description:	enh: CVSAPI uses vsprintf replace with vswprintf /use wstring for CServerIo::log

Actions:

2024-08-07 10:56 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Lots of parts of CVSAPI use ASCII strings (char *) rather than Unicode strings wchar_t *

From the ground up CVSAPI was build with both cvs::string and cvs::wstring, but there is still a lot built 
around char * due to the underlying reliance on vsprintf rather than vswprintf

Fixing this would allow CServerIo::log to take a Unicode string rather than an ASCII string.

2024-08-07 11:00 AEST by Arthur Barrett - I think the historical reason for this is that vswprintf wasn't widely implemented when we started CVSAPI, 
though it would have been by the time we did 2.5.03.

It'd be interesting to see if Tony addressed this in 2.5.05 or in 3.1.01.  Maybe we could port code form there?
