Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] selftests/nolibc: add tests for printf left alignment and zero padding

From: Cheng Li <im.lechain@...il.com>

This patch adds validation for the recently added left-alignment ('-')
flag in printf().

It ensures that Fields are correctly padded with spaces on the right
when the '-' flag is used.
