Many pages: Remove references to C89
C89 is obsolete, and programs should target newer standards. If someone
needs information about is, the Standard itself is a better resource.
Let's move forward, so readers get the intended notice that C89 is not a
useful version of C.

scanf.3, sscanf.3, vsscanf.3: Split the page, one for strings and one for FILEs
From these functions, the ones that read from a FILE* are very difficult
--if not impossible-- to use correctly. Let's split the page into two,
so that we give the impression that sscanf(3) is the first class
citizen, and the others are just historic artifacts that are kept for
backwards-compatibility reasons.
FILE* variants are now in a page which clearly tells the reader to look
for other ways to read input.

suffixes.7: Improve table format
Apparently the original author(s) of this table did not know how to
start a table entry in the first column of a tbl(1) table with a dot.
(If you try, the *roff formatter will interpret it as a control line,
and try to invoke a request or call a macro.)
Start every row of the table with the *roff dummy character `\&` instead
of leading space. Not only is this more idiomatic, but it recovers some
of the line length for content.
This patch does not attempt to correct any errors in the table contents,
nor bring it up to date from its year 2000 vintage.

The extension of the page length is workaround for

Git. But waiting for a groff release is not necessary; man-db man(1)
nowadays conceals diagnostic messages from the formatter and output
