ls-tree: fix documentation of %x format placeholder

Browse Source 
ls-tree --format expands %x followed by two hexadecimal digits to the
character indicated by that hexadecimal number, e.g.:

   $ git ls-tree --format=%x41 HEAD | head -1
   A

It rejects % followed by a hexadecimal digit, e.g.:

   $ git ls-tree --format=%41 HEAD | head -1
   fatal: bad ls-tree format: element '41' does not start with '('

This functionality is provided by strbuf_expand_literal_cb(), which has
not been changed since it was factored out by fd2015b323 (strbuf:
separate callback for strbuf_expand:ing literals, 2019-01-28).

Adjust the documentation accordingly.

--format=<format>::
A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the result
being shown. It also interpolates `%%` to `%`, and
`%xx` where `xx` are hex digits interpolates to character
with hex code `xx`; for example `%00` interpolates to
`\0` (NUL), `%09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%0a` to `\n` (LF).
`%xNN` where `NN` are hex digits interpolates to character
with hex code `NN`; for example `%x00` interpolates to
`\0` (NUL), `%x09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%x0a` to `\n` (LF).
When specified, `--format` cannot be combined with other
format-altering options, including `--long`, `--name-only`
and `--object-only`.
