build: gen_char_blob.lua: "bad argument to format" if path contains "%" #39274

Problem:
Build fails if user cloned the repo to a path with "%" chars:

    src/gen/gen_char_blob.lua:51: bad argument #1 to 'format' (number expected, got string)

Solution:
- Escape "%" chars.
- Also use "%q" in case the path has spaces...
