nconfig: Fix segfault when help contains special characters

nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick
example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for
bzip2. Doing so triggers a call to mvwprintw() with a string containing
'%' and no extra arguments to fill in the specifier's value. Fix this
case by printing the literal string retrieved from the kconfig.
