In the format string for *scanf functions, the '%as', '%aS', and '%a[]'
modifiers behave differently depending on ISO C99 compatibility. When
_GNU_SOURCE is defined and -std=c89 is passed to the compiler, these
functions behave like ascanf, and the modifiers allocate memory for the
output. Otherwise, the ISO C99 compliant version of these functions is
used, and the modifiers consume a floating-point argument. This patch
adds the IEEE binary128 variant of ISO C99 compliant functions for the
third long double format on powerpc64le.
Tested for powerpc64le.

Several commits to the ldbl-128ibm-compat directory added new files
where the URL in the copyright notice pointed to an http, rather than to
an https, address. This happened because I copied the notices before
commit ID 5a82c74822. This trivial patch fixes this issue.
The 'mode' argument to __vfscanf_internal allows the selection of the
long double format for all long double arguments requested by the format
string. Currently, there are two possibilities: long double with the
same format as double or long double as something else. The 'something
else' format varies between architectures, and on powerpc64le, it means
IBM Extended Precision format.
In preparation for the third option of long double format on
powerpc64le, this patch uses the new mode mask,
SCANF_LDBL_USES_FLOAT128, which tells __vfscanf_internal to call
__strtof128_internal, instead of __strtold_internal, and save the output
into a _Float128 variable.
Tested for powerpc64le.
