minimal-printf: Fix handling of the two character sequence %%

The two character sequence %% is used in standard implementations of
printf to print a single %. This is because % is essentially printf's
escape character for format specifiers and as \% cannot work printf
uses %%.
Therefore to be compatible with string buffers containing
%%, minimal-printf also needs to only print a single %.
