-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 To avoid well-known pitfalls, we use tor_sscanf in lieu of the system
 libc's sscanf.... everywhere except for 3 calls in rephist.c.

 To fix those, we need support for %lu, %lf, %ld, and %d in tor_sscanf.

 This is also coverity issue CID 448.
