Temporarily disable format truncation warnings

GCC 7.1 introduces a new -Wformat-truncation warning
flag that reports if it thinks the maximum possible
size of the formatted output will exceed the provided
fixed buffer. This is enabled automatically by the
-Wformat warning flag. There are quite a few places
hit by this in libvirt which need rewriting. This is
non-trivial work in some places, so temporarily
disable the new warning until those fixes can be
implemented.
