BUG/MINOR: stick-table: fix the sc-set-gpt* parser when using expressions

The sc-set-gpt0() parser was extended in 2.1 by commit 0d7712dff ("MINOR:
stick-table: allow sc-set-gpt0 to set value from an expression") to support
sample expressions in addition to plain integers. However there is a
subtlety there, which is that while the arg position must be incremented
when parsing an integer, it must not be touched when calling an expression
since the expression parser already does it.

The effect is that rules making use of sc-set-gpt0() followed by an
expression always ignore one word after that expression, and will typically
fail to parse if followed by an "if" as the parser will restart after the
"if". With no condition it's different because an empty condition doesn't
result in trying to parse anything.

This patch moves the increment at the right place and adds a few
explanations for a code part that was far from being obvious.

This should be backported to branches having the commit above (2.1+).
