C2x scanf %b support
ISO C2x defines scanf %b for input of binary integers (with an
optional 0b or 0B prefix). Implement such support, along with the
corresponding SCNb* macros in <inttypes.h>. Unlike the support for
binary integers with 0b or 0B prefix with scanf %i, this is supported
in all versions of scanf (independent of the standards mode used for
compilation), because there are no backwards compatibility concerns
(%b wasn't previously a supported format) the way there were for %i.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
