On gcc 3.4 and newer, simply using (void) in front of WUR functions is
not sufficient to ignore the return value. That prevents a build when
handling warnings as errors.

libvhost-user had a usage of (void)vasprintf() which triggered such a
condition. This fixes it by replacing this call with g_strdup_vprintf()
which aborts on OOM.
