 Use snwprintf instead of swprintf in rts/Linker.c.

 Summary:
 swprintf has different signatures in mingw32, where it does not include
 the
 buffer size, and in mingw-w64, where it does. That of course breaks the
 code
 as mingw-w64 treats the pointer to the format string as a size_t.

 snwprintf is available in both environments and is consistent, so use that
 instead.
