[PATCH] cocci: use format keyword instead of a literal string

There's a rule in strbuf.cocci for converting trivial uses of strbuf_addf() to strbuf_addstr() in order to simplify the code and improve performance a bit. Coccinelle 1.0.0~rc19.deb-3 on Travis CI lets the "%s" in that rule match format strings like "%d" as well for some reason, though, leading to invalid proposed patches.

Use the "format" keyword to let Coccinelle parse the format string and match the conversion specifier with a trivial regular expression instead. This works fine with both Coccinelle 1.0.0~rc19.deb-3 and 1.0.4.deb-3+b3 (the current version on Debian testing).
