[GCC16][COMMITTED 06/29] a68: fix diagnostic in recover_from_error

The recover_from_error function calls a68_phrase_to_text in order to
get a descriptive text to emit in diagnostics.  This text, however,
may contain format tags such as %< and %>, so it has to be passed to
a68_error as a format string, therwise the format tags are not
interpreted and get printed verbatim.

gcc/algol68/ChangeLog

	* a68-parser-bottom-up.cc (recover_from_error): Use the output of
	a68_phrase_to_text as format string so format tags are honored.

(cherry picked from commit 290221e86a32369f66a8ac089bd8430e45efe9f4)
