[PATCH v3 07/10] stdio-common: Also reject exp char w/o significand in i18n scanf [BZ #13988]

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@redhat.com>

Fix the handling of real 'scanf' input such as "+.e" as per BZ #13988 
for the i18n case as well, complementing commit 6ecec3b616ae ("Don't 
accept exp char without preceding digits in scanf float parsing"), where 
the 'e' character is incorrectly consumed from input.  Add a test case 
matching stdio-common/bug26.c, with bits from localedata/tst-sscanf.c.
---
This is needed to prevent a localedata/tst-sscanf regression with 10/10,
but it is of course a fix for a bug on its own.  I don't know why GCC is 
unhappy with the 'I' modifier, this doesn't appear documented anywhere.

New change in v3.
