%% anywhere in input is now replaced with % #384

Description

Starting with Mako 1.3.1, %% anywhere in input now renders to %. This is a change in behavior from previous releases.

It's unclear to me if this is intended. The documentation says that %% can be used to render a % at the start of a line, but it doesn't explicitly state how %% is handled elsewhere in a line. My first interpretation was that %% elsewhere in a line wouldn't be changed.

Simple reproducing case:

$ pip install mako==1.3.0
...
Successfully installed mako-1.3.0
$ mako-render - <<< foo%%bar
foo%%bar
$ pip install mako==1.3.1
...
Successfully installed mako-1.3.1
$ mako-render - <<< foo%%bar
foo%bar

This is related to #383. From the discussion there, it seems like this was expected to possibly break users, but it's not clear to me if it was expected to break all use of %% not at the start of a line or just %% at the start of a line after whitespace (which I would expect).
