Fix mishandling of $Id$ expanded in the repository copy in convert.c

If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$),
then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not
expanded.  The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree().

Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version,
ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and
discarded everything it found until then.  That was done with the loop:

    do {
        ch = *cp++;
        if (ch == '$')
            break;
        rem--;
    } while (rem);

The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$"
(because of ch = *cp++).  This was different from the non-expanded case,
were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment
which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $".  This
patch fixes that by making the loop:

    do {
        ch = *cp;
        if (ch == '$')
            break;
        cp++;
        rem--;
    } while (rem);

That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented.

This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the
source.  After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is
skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this
non-keyword as it was.  However, when the "$" is found, size is
corrected, before running the expansion:

    size -= (cp - src);

This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion,
so there is no need to do it here.  This patch removes that redundant
correction.

To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments
are included here as a bonus.
