sort: fix --debug marking for -b -k1.x
We were erroneously skipping blanks in the marked comparison _after_ the key start offset was applied. * src/sort.c (debug_keys): Don't skip starting blanks if already handled by begfield(). * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22155
