Landon Curt Noll 42129a3672 change error printing from errnum to errsym
When printing an error, calc used to print the errnum (error number):

    ; 1/0
	    Error 10001

Calc now prints the errsym (errsym):

    ; 1/0
	    Error E_DIVBYZERO

Added errsym E_LN_3 for ln(0).
Added errsym E_LOG_5 for log(0).
Added errsym E_LOG2_4 for log2(0).
Added errsym E_LOGN_6 for logn(0,base).

NAME
scan - scan standard input for possible assignment to variables
SYNOPSIS
scan(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n)
TYPES
x_1, x_2, ... any
return integer
DESCRIPTION
When input is from a terminal, execution is halted and input is read
until a newline is entered. Strings of non-whitespace characters
are evaluated in succession and if the corresponding x_i is an lvalue,
the resulting value is assigned to x_i. If the number of strings
read exceeds n, only the first n strings are evaluated. If the number
of strings is less than n, the later x_i are ignored.
EXAMPLE
; global a, b, c, d;
; scan(a, 0, c, d)
; 2+3 b=a^2 3+4i 3+"a"
; print a,b,c,d
5 25 3+4i Error E_ADD
LIMITS
The number of arguments is not to exceed 1024.
LINK LIBRARY
int scanfstr(char *str, char *fmt, int count, VALUE **vals);
