To: linux-sparse; +Cc: Ben Dooks
Add code to parse the __attribute__((format)) used to indicate that
a variadic function takes a printf-style format string and where
those are. Save the data in ctype ready for checking when such an
function is encoutered.

v2:
- apply comments about arg names and early-exit from function
- remove the KW_UNUSED
v3:
- merged the scanf bits back in here as scanf is now inclided

The variadic argumebt code did not check any of the variadic arguments
as it did not previously know the possible type. Now we have the possible
formatting information stored in the ctype, we can do some checks on the
printf formatting types.

V2:
- try and reduce size/if nesting of parse_printf_get_fmt()
- change return for parse_format_printf() and try and simplify
- reworked the test code to reduce numner of test functions
- bailed out early if verification isn't ok
V3:
- fixed issue with kernel testing
- fixed logic error in one check
V4:
- rewritten to deal with scanf
- made some of the format code common and tried to simplify
- fixed bugs found with checking linux-kernel#
Note, this is quite a re-write from the original so probably will
need re-reviewing
