Gnulib module: vscanf, nonblocking

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module vscanf, together with module nonblocking:

• When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function fails with errno being set to EINVAL instead of EAGAIN on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 14.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function does not support size specifiers as in C23 (w8, w16, w32, w64, wf8, wf16, wf32, wf64) on some platforms: glibc 2.38, musl libc, macOS 14, FreeBSD 13.2, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.2, AIX 7.2, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 2.9.0, mingw, MSVC 14.
• On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set errno upon failure.
• On Windows, these functions don’t support the hh, ll, j, t, z size specifiers.
