use xstrfmt to replace xmalloc + strcpy/strcat
It's easy to get manual allocation calculations wrong, and
the use of strcpy/strcat raise red flags for people looking
for buffer overflows (though in this case each site was
fine).
It's also shorter to use xstrfmt, and the printf-format
tends to be easier for a reader to see what the final string
will look like.
