lib/vsprintf.c: document more vsnprintf extensions
These were added in 9ac6e44 (lib/vsprintf.c: add %pU to print UUID/GUIDs) c7dabef (vsprintf: use %pR, %pr instead of %pRt, %pRf) 8a27f7c (lib/vsprintf.c: Add "%pI6c" - print pointer as compressed ipv6 address) 4aa9960 (printk: add %I4, %I6, %i4, %i6 format specifiers) dd45c9c (printk: add %pM format specifier for MAC addresses) but only added comments to pointer() not vsnprintf() that is refered to by printk's comments.
