Please find attached a port for devel/scnlib.

COMMENT:
scanf for modern C++

DESCR:
scnlib is a modern C++ library for replacing scanf and std::istream.
This library attempts to move us ever so much closer to replacing
iostreams and C stdio altogether. It's faster than iostream, and
type-safe, unlike scanf. Think {fmt} or C++20 std::format, but in the
other direction.

This port is needed to update graphics/vtk to version 9.6.0. Most tests
are passing (96% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 25). I've
reported[1] the set of tests that failed upstream.

Feedback? OKs? Thank you.
