sscanf(): fix %*s%n

When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
following the %*s.  For example, the following code should find the
position of the end of the string "hello".

  int end;
  char buf[] = "hello    world";
  sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
  printf("%d\n", end);

Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
not included in the patch.
