Ensure error messages are printed with sync'd output.

Enhance the child_error() function so that it will write error output to the
child's sync output buffer, if it exists.  If it doesn't the output goes to
stdout/stderr.

+	* makeint.h (message_s, error_s): Functions that print to strings
+	rather than directly to files.
+	* misc.c (message_s, error_s): Create them.
+	* job.c (child_error): Print error messages to the output sync
+	logs, if one exists, rather then directly to the terminal.
+	(reap_children): Move the per-line sync after child_error().
+
 	* configure.ac: Remove support for pre-ANSI variadic function calls.
 	* makeint.h: Ditto.
 	* misc.c: Ditto.
