Jan Beulich da99075c1d 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()).
