The `printf` format specifier only allows `#`, `0`, `-`, `+` and space as flag characters. Others are interpreted as width/precision/length modifier or conversion specifiers. If a character does not fit into any of these sets `printf` just displays it.

Also add a test suite for `tf.strings.as_string`. Also fix the issue where the flag character was used only if width was specified.
