lib/vsprintf.c: improve standard conformance of sscanf()
Xen's pciback points out a couple of deficiencies with vsscanf()'s standard conformance: - Trailing character matching cannot be checked by the caller: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x) %n" absence of the closing parenthesis cannot be checked, as input of "(00:00.0)" doesn't cause the %n to be evaluated (because of the code not skipping white space before the trailing %n). - The parameter corresponding to a trailing %n could get filled even if there was a matching error: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x)%n", input of "(00:00.0]" would still fill the respective variable pointed to (and hence again make the mismatch non-detectable by the caller). This patch aims at fixing those, but leaves other non-conforming aspects of it untouched, among them these possibly relevant ones: - improper handling of the assignment suppression character '*' (blindly discarding all succeeding non-white space from the format and input strings), - not honoring conversion specifiers for %n, - not recognizing the C99 conversion specifier 't' (recognized by vsprintf()).
