Security update for sane-backends

This update for sane-backends fixes the following issues:

  • sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31:
    • sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.30 fixes memory corruption bugs CVE-2020-12861, CVE-2020-12862, CVE-2020-12863, CVE-2020-12864, CVE-2020-12865, CVE-2020-12866, CVE-2020-12867 (bsc#1172524)
    • sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31 to further improve hardware enablement for scanner devices (jsc#SLE-15561 and jsc#SLE-15560 with jsc#ECO-2418)
    • The new escl backend cannot be provided for SLE12 because it requires more additional software (avahi-client, libcurl, and libpoppler-glib-devel) where in particular for libcurl the one that is in SLE12 (via libcurl-devel-7.37.0) is likely too old because with that building the escl backend fails with 'escl/escl.c:1267:34: error: 'CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH' undeclared curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH'
