Rich Felker 8f12c4e110 fix crash/out-of-bound read in sscanf
commit d6c855caa8 caused this
"regression", though the behavior was undefined before, overlooking
that f->shend=0 was being used as a sentinel for "EOF" status (actual
EOF or hitting the scanf field width) of the stream helper (shgetc)
functions.

obviously the shgetc macro could be adjusted to check for a null
pointer in addition to the != comparison, but it's the hot path, and
adding extra code/branches to it begins to defeat the purpose.

so instead of setting shend to a null pointer to block further reads,
which no longer works, set it to the current position (rpos). this
makes the shgetc macro work with no change, but it breaks shunget,
which can no longer look at the value of shend to determine whether to
back up. Szabolcs Nagy suggested a solution which I'm using here:
setting shlim to a negative value is inexpensive to test at shunget
time, and automatically re-trips the cnt>=shlim stop condition in
__shgetc no matter what the original limit was.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
