apparently this function was intended at some point to be used by
strto* family as well, and thus was put in its own file; however, as
far as I can tell, it's only ever been used by vsscanf. move it to the
same file to reduce the number of source files and external symbols.

libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.

GNU used several extensions that were incompatible with C99 and POSIX,
so they used alternate names for the standard functions.
The result is that we need these to run standards-conformant programs
that were linked with glibc.

to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

advantages over the old code:
- correct results for floating point (old code was bogus)
- wide/regular scanf separated so scanf does not pull in wide code
- well-defined behavior on integers that overflow dest type
- support for %[a-b] ranges with %[ (impl-defined by widely used)
- no intermediate conversion of fmt string to wide string
- cleaner, easier to share code with strto* functions
- better standards conformance for corner cases
the old code remains in the source tree, as the wide versions of the
scanf-family functions are still using it. it will be removed when no
longer needed.
