Appending to a pattern specific variable produces an incorrect value
in the presence of a command line definition or an env override of
the variable. Also, fix pattern/target-specific appending to a
variable with origin override.
* At parse time record_target_var sets the value of a pattern
specific variable to the value defined on command line or to the
value of the env override.
* Later, at build time, recursively_expand_for_file appends this
value of the variable (set in record_target_var) to the command
line value again, regardless of the origin of the variable.
This patch modifies recursively_expand_for_file to avoid appending,
unless the origin of the variable beats or equals the origin of one
of the parent definitions of this variable.

* NEWS: Note the change.
* src/variable.c (do_variable_definition): Avoid merging a
pattern-specific variable with the parent definition when a command
line or env override is present.
* src/expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): Avoid appending to a
pattern-specific variable, unless the origin of this pattern-specific
variable beats or equals the origin of one of the parent definitions
of this variable.
