builtin: Reject malformed printf specifications with digits after '*'
Dash doesn't notice when a format string has digits following a * width
specifier.

    $ dash -c 'printf "%*0s  " 1 2 && echo FAIL || echo OK'
    %10s  FAIL

    $ bash -c 'printf "%*0s  " 1 2 && echo FAIL || echo OK'
    bash: line 0: printf: `0': invalid format character
    OK
    $ mksh -c 'printf "%*0s  " 1 2 && echo FAIL || echo OK'
    printf: %*0: invalid conversion specification
    OK

With this patch dash complains about the malformed specifications.

    $ ./src/dash -c 'printf "%*0s  " 1 2 && echo FAIL || echo OK'
    ./src/dash: 1: printf: %*0: invalid directive
    OK
