Russ Cox 0db9518ab3 fmt: document and adjust Scanf space handling to eliminate a few paradoxes
This CL makes minor adjustment to the handling of spaces and newlines
and then documents the result.

The semantic adjustment mainly concerns the handling of a run of
spaces following a newline in the format, like in "\n ".
Previously, that run of spaces was ignored entirely, leading to paradoxes
like the format "1 \n 2" not matching itself as input.
Now, spaces following a newline in the format match zero or more
spaces following the corresponding newline in the input.

The changes to the test suite show how minor the semantic adjustments are
and how they make the behavior more regular than previously.

This CL also updates the documentation to explain the handling of
spaces more precisely, incorporating the draft from CL 17723 but
describing the newly introduced behavior.

Fixes #13565.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
