lib/vsprintf.c: reduce stack use in number()
At least since the initial git commit, when base was passed as a separate parameter, number() has only been called with bases 8, 10 and 16. I'm guessing that 66 was to accommodate 64 0/1, a sign and a '\0', but the buffer is only used for the actual digits. Octal digits carry 3 bits of information, so 24 is enough. Spell that 3*sizeof(num) so one less place needs to be changed should long long ever be 128 bits. Also remove the commented-out code that would handle an arbitrary base.
