Use snprintf not sprintf in pg_waldump's timestamptz_to_str.

This could only cause an issue if strftime returned a ridiculously
long timezone name, which seems unlikely; and it wouldn't qualify
as a security problem even then, since pg_waldump (nee pg_xlogdump)
is a debug tool not part of the server.  But gcc 8 has started issuing
warnings about it, so let's use snprintf and be safe.

Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was added.
