shorten_unambiguous_ref: use xsnprintf

We convert the ref_rev_parse_rules array into scanf formats
on the fly, and use snprintf() to write into each string. We
should have enough memory to hold everything because of the
earlier total_len computation. Let's use xsnprintf() to
give runtime confirmation that this is the case, and to make
it easy for people auditing the code to know there's no
truncation bug.
