[PATCH v4 01/10] shell32/autocomplete: Fix a vulnerability by avoiding the use of snprintf

The quickComplete format can have more than one % argument, or stuff like
%*.* or %1234s, which can be exploited since the format string can be read
from the registry, so handle it manually instead of using sprintf.

v4: Return the length to not overestimate.
