test: use architecture-neutral wrapper for calling vprintf
Different architectures use different types for va_list: x86_64 uses an 1-length array of struct type[0]: typedef struct { unsigned int gp_offset; unsigned int fp_offset; void *overflow_arg_area; void *reg_save_area; } va_list[1]; aarch64 uses a struct type[1] typedef struct { void *__stack; void *__gr_top; void *__vr_top; int __gr_offs; int __vr_offs; } va_list; Consequently, C functions which takes a va_list as an argument, such as vprintf, may pass va_list in different ways depending on the architecture. On x86_64, va_list is an array type, so parameter decays to a pointer and passing the address of the va_list is correct. On aarch64, the va_list struct is passed by value, but since it is larger than 16 bytes, the parameter is replaced with a pointer to caller-allocated memory. Thus, passing the address as an l argument happens to work. However, this pattern of passing the address of the va_list to vprintf doesn't extend to other architectures. On riscv64, va_list is defined as typedef void *va_list; which is *not* passed by reference. This means that tests that call vprintf using the address of a va_list (vararg1 and vararg2) will not work on riscv. To fix this while keeping the tests architecture-neutral, add a small wrapper function to the driver which takes a va_list *, and let the C compiler deal with the details of passing va_list by value.
