strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.
This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():
(1) git-daemon interpolated paths
(2) pretty-print user formats
(3) merge driver command lines
Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.
