88f1bc8b55 Modify backslash/newline handling for POSIX.
We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles
that relied on the GNU make behavior.  The POSIX behavior doesn't
seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well,
so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to
get the POSIX behavior.
Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling.
Update the test suite.

43d81ff866 New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIX
Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines
from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again.
Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe
the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various
phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts",
etc.

11095a90f1 Make second expansion optional (partial implementation).
I decided this feature was too impacting to make the permanent default
behavior.  This set of changes makes the default behavior of make the
old behavior (no second expansion).  If you want second expansion, you
must define the .SECONDEXPANSION: special target before the first target
that needs it.

This set of changes ONLY fixes explicit and static pattern rules to work
like this.  Implicit rules still have second expansion enabled all the
time: I'll work on that next.

Note that there is still a backward-incompatibility: now to get the old
SysV behavior using $$@ etc. in the prerequisites list you need to set
.SECONDEXPANSION: as well.

467115baae Fix Savannah bug # 1328: if stdout is redirected to a full filesystem, we
check for this and exit with an error.
The closeout.c version from gnulib pulls in too much other stuff, and
gnulib requires an ANSI C 89 compliant compiler, while GNU make (so far)
still wants to work on K&R.
