[KBUILD] optionally print cause of rebuild (#2)

[Milton Miller]

Al wanted to see why Kbuild wanted to build files, to help debug
Makefiles or dependency chains.

Here is my second draft, with with whitespace handled by strip.  It
also now considers cmd_$@ before the targets variable because its
both what the rules do and because the toplevel doesn't use targets.
It still always prints the non-existing $^ stuff that only
if_changed_dep uses.

Set KBUILLD_PRINTDEPS=1 and you will get lines like
DEPS: building bar/foo.o because command changed
DEPS: building bar/foo.o because command was missing
DEPS: building bar/foo.o because it was not a target
DEPS: building bar/foo.o because it was missing
DEPS: building bar/foo.o because of bar/foo.c include/linux/baz.h
