using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf

sort: handle fd exhaustion better when merging
This is an alternative to my 9 March patch labeled "Silently lower
nmerge; don't (sometimes incorrectly) range-check"
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00070.html>.
It differs by not using 'dup' to probe for extra file descriptors;
instead, it simply calls 'open' (and 'pipe') to open files and pipes,
until one of these calls fails due to file descriptor exhaustion; it
then backs off by 1, does a merge with the files that it has opened,
and then retries with the (now-smaller) number of files.
This patch requires quite a few more changes to the source code than
the earlier patch, but it is in some sense "better" because it doesn't
need to call "dup" ahead of time in order to decide whether "open" or
"pipe" will fail. Also, it's more robust in the case where "open" or
"pipe" fails with errno==EMFILE because some system-wide limit is
exhausted.
