    @brief scan a number literal
 
    This function scans a string according to Sect. 6 of RFC 8259.
 
    The function is realized with a deterministic finite state machine derived
    from the grammar described in RFC 8259. Starting in state "init", the
    input is read and used to determined the next state. Only state "done"
    accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model errors. In the
    table below, "anything" means any character but the ones listed before.
 
    state    | 0        | 1-9      | e E      | +       | -       | .        | anything
    ---------|----------|----------|----------|---------|---------|----------|-----------
    init     | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | minus   | [error]  | [error]
    minus    | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    zero     | done     | done     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    any1     | any1     | any1     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    decimal1 | decimal2 | decimal2 | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    decimal2 | decimal2 | decimal2 | exponent | done    | done    | done     | done
    exponent | any2     | any2     | [error]  | sign    | sign    | [error]  | [error]
    sign     | any2     | any2     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    any2     | any2     | any2     | done     | done    | done    | done     | done
 
    The state machine is realized with one label per state (prefixed with
    "scan_number_") and `goto` statements between them. The state machine
    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
    the function is guaranteed to terminate.
 
    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in token_buffer. This string is
    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
    floating-point number.
 
    @return token_type::value_unsigned, token_type::value_integer, or
            token_type::value_float if number could be successfully scanned,
            token_type::parse_error otherwise
 
    @note The scanner is independent of the current locale. Internally, the
          locale's decimal point is used instead of `.` to work with the
          locale-dependent converters.
