ash: support platforms that don't have '%m' printf specifier

The '%m' conversion specifier prints an error message based on the
current value of 'errno'.  It is available in the GNU C library,
Cygwin (since 2012), uClibc and musl.

It is not available in various BSDs, BSD-derived systems (MacOS,
Android) or Microsoft Windows.

Use a symbol defined in platform.h to control how error messages
can be formatted to display the 'errno' message.  On platforms that
support it use '%m'; on other platforms use '%s' and strerror().

On platforms that have '%m' there is essentially no change in the
size of the binary.  Otherwise:
