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.

47cd8d4624 Fix core dump on malformed variable line (Debian bug #81656)
Allow SysV-style variable references to use {} in addition to ().
Add variable.h to the POTFILES.in since it has a translatable string.

bc91c0b23f A few test bug fixes:
* Never use "touch" in make rules; it breaks on most sub-second
    supporting systems.  Use echo "" > $@ instead.
  * Forgot to close test makefiles before using them!

All the above worked fine on Linux but failed miserably on Solaris.

4d72c4c11e Implement SysV-style $$@ support. I looked at E.Parmelan's patch but
decided to implement this a different way, and didn't use it.
