If the user asks for --format=%G with nothing else, we
correctly realize that "%G" is not a valid placeholder (it
should be "%G?", "%GK", etc). But we still tell the
strbuf_expand code that we consumed 2 characters, causing it
to jump over the trailing NUL and output garbage.

This also fixes the case where "%GX" would be consumed (and
produce no output). In other cases, we pass unrecognized
placeholders through to the final string.

Noticed while experimenting with "%G" placeholders in the nearby thread.

It doesn't look like we have any tests of "%G*" and friends at all. :(
