This PR fixes a bug discovered when trying to replace the lengthier watermarks such as
PKG_MAINTAINERandVCS_COMMIT_ID. The algorithm searching for substitution candidates stops its search without scanning the remaining string if the length of the accumulated string is larger than the longest watermark key in the replacement map.However, it failed to account for the initial
%%and thus short circuited too soon for longer watermarks. This proposed patch defines a well named constant equal toString.length "%%"and adds its length to the existing check.
