sscanf() and friends currently ignore integer overflow, but this is a
bad idea.  It is much better to detect integer overflow errors and
consider this a conversion failure.

This implements Linus's suggestion of using '!' to treat integer
overflow as wrapping.  It does _not_ allow wrapping of unsigned
conversions by default, though, as in at least some cases accepting
negative numbers is _not_ intended.

Perhaps. And maybe I even agree. But not like this:

You can't do that. Or, at least, you won't be able to actually use %!d
anywhere, because the compiler will yell at you:

lib/vsprintf.c: In function ‘foobar’:
lib/vsprintf.c:3727:26: error: unknown conversion type character ‘!’ in
format [-Werror=format=]
 3727 |  ret = sscanf("12345", "%!d", &val);
      |                          ^

So NAK.

Also, when you make significant changes to the sscanf implementation,
I'd expect the diffstat for the patch series to contain lib/test_scanf.c.
