archive: specfile syntax change: "$Format:%PLCHLDR$" instead of just "%PLCHLDR" (take 2)

As suggested by Johannes, --pretty=format: placeholders in specfiles
need to be wrapped in $Format:...$ now.  This syntax change restricts
the expansion of placeholders and makes it easier to use with files
that contain non-placeholder percent signs.
