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.

- '%n': newline

- '%x00': print a byte from a hex code

the length of the placeholder recognized and `strbuf_expand()` skips
over it.
+
The format `%%` is automatically expanded to a single `%` as a quoting
mechanism; callers do not need to handle the `%` placeholder themselves,
and the callback function will not be invoked for this placeholder.
+
All other characters (non-percent and not skipped ones) are copied
verbatim to the strbuf. If the callback returned zero, meaning that the
placeholder is unknown, then the percent sign is copied, too.
