lib/fmt: drop use of FMT_STRING

When compiling with libfmt-11.1.0 and newer the following compile errors occur:

In file included from ../src/decoder/DecoderPrint.cxx:23:

The error is due to the use of FMT_STRING. The libfmt team shared the following:

    The correct way of using FMT_STRING is to wrap a format string when passing to a
    function with compile-time checks (i.e. that takes format_string) as documented
    in https://fmt.dev/11.1/api/#legacy-compile-time-checks.

    Noting that FMT_STRING is a legacy API and has been superseded by consteval-based
    API starting from version 8: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/releases/tag/8.0.0. It
    looks like MPD is trying to emulate {fmt}'s old way of implementing compile-time
    checks which was never properly documented because it was basically a hack. So the
    correct fix is to switch to format_string and, possibly, remove usage of FMT_STRING.

    The old way of doing compile-time checks (fmt::make_args_checked) was documented
    in https://fmt.dev/7.1/api.html#argument-lists but it looks like MPD is not using
    that API so the problematic uses of FMT_STRING have no effect and can just be removed.

The FMT_STRING has been removed in this change based on the fmt-7.1 API and now MPD is
successfully compile against the current libfmt-11.1.0 which highlighted the issue that
had been present in the codebase as it is now triggering the error, is legacy and was
not using the API for which FMT_STRING was aligned with.
