ld: optimize vfinfo output slightly

Browse Source 
ld atm ends up calling the write() syscall on every char when displaying
an error message.  For example:
$ echo 'main(){foo();}' | strace -f -ewrite gcc -x c -o /dev/null -
...
[pid 13035] write(2, ":", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, " ", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "I", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "n", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, " ", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "f", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "u", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "n", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "c", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "t", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "i", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "o", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "n", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, " ", 1)            = 1
[pid 13035] write(2, "`", 1)            = 1
...

That's just to write ": In function `main':".  A slight optimization in
the vfinfo() func gives a much more reasonable syscall footprint:
...
write(2, ": In function `", 15)         = 15
...

* ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Assign new local str to fmt. Delete
putc call. If str and fmt are different, call fwrite on
the difference.
