The gui_progress_bar and gui_label components can display the timeout
value. The format string can be set through a theme file. This patch
adds a validation step to the format string.
If a user loads a theme file into the GRUB without this patch then
a GUI label with the following settings
+ label {
...
id = "__timeout__"
text = "%s"
}
will interpret the current timeout value as string pointer and print the
memory at that position on the screen. It is not desired behavior.

The grub_printf_fmt_check() function parses the arguments of an untrusted
printf() format and an expected printf() format and then compares the
arguments counts and arguments types. The arguments count in the untrusted
format string must be less or equal to the arguments count in the expected
format string and both arguments types must match.
To do this the parse_printf_arg_fmt() helper function is extended in the
following way:
1. Add a return value to report errors to the grub_printf_fmt_check().
2. Add the fmt_check argument to enable stricter format verification:
- the function expects that arguments definitions are always
terminated by a supported conversion specifier.
- positional parameters, "$", are not allowed, as they cannot be
validated correctly with the current implementation. For example
"%s%1$d" would assign the first args entry twice while leaving the
second one unchanged.
- Return an error if preallocated space in args is too small and
allocation fails for the needed size. The grub_printf_fmt_check()
should verify all arguments. So, if validation is not possible for
any reason it should return an error.
This also adds a case entry to handle "%%", which is the escape
sequence to print "%" character.
3. Add the max_args argument to check for the maximum allowed arguments
count in a printf() string. This should be set to the arguments count
of the expected format. Then the parse_printf_arg_fmt() function will
return an error if the arguments count is exceeded.
The two additional arguments allow us to use parse_printf_arg_fmt() in
printf() and grub_printf_fmt_check() calls.
When parse_printf_arg_fmt() is used by grub_printf_fmt_check() the
function parse user provided untrusted format string too. So, in
that case it is better to be too strict than too lenient.

Set printf() argument type for "%s" to new type STRING. This is in
preparation for a follow up patch to compare a printf() format string
against an expected printf() format string.
For "%s" the corresponding printf() argument is dereferenced as pointer
while all other argument types are defined as integer value. However,
when validating a printf() format it is necessary to differentiate "%s"
from "%p" and other integers. So, let's do that.

This patch is preparing for a follow up patch which will use
the format parsing part to compare the arguments in a printf()
format from an external source against a printf() format with
expected arguments.
