rillig | make: consistently use double quotes in error messages
Previously, some error messages used single quotes, very few used
backticks or parentheses, most already used double quotes.
While here, reword a few error messages to be clearer or more consistent
with related error messages.

rillig | make: add on-demand inter-process stack traces
When debugging a build that heavily uses nested calls to sub-makes, the
chain of calls is useful to quickly assess the situation. If explicitly
requested, include the actions from any parent processes in the stack
traces.

rillig | make: add ":" to error message about unknown modifier
In the manual page, the modifiers are listed with a preceding ":", so
use the same pattern in the error message. This removes an inconsistency
between the error messages "Unknown modifier" and "Bad modifier".

rillig | make: in stack traces from target commands, add the command level
A target can contain several commands, and these commands are likely to
contain the same expressions. To distinguish them, add one more line to
the stack trace, to narrow down the source of the error.

rillig | make: reduce line length in error messages
The error messages for deeply nested parse errors were hard to decipher,
due to the large amount of text. Split these messages into individual
lines, just as in the backtrace for .include files and .for loops. This
unified backtrace makes the output more uniform.

rillig | tests/make: demonstrate failing dependency in parallel mode
In parallel mode, when generating the commands for a target, parse or
evaluation errors still continue generating and executing the commands.
And if the commands succeed, the targets that depend on this target are
still made.

rillig | make: error out on parse/evaluation errors in shell commands
The expression ${VAR:X} has an unknown modifier ':X'. Previously, this
expression errored out when the expression was evaluated at parse time,
but not when the expression was evaluated when generating the commands
to bring a target up to date. The errors were previously reported, they
didn't affect the exit status, though.
Now, errors in expressions are handled in the same way, regardless of
the time at which they are evaluated.

rillig | make: error out on unclosed expressions during parse time
In exchange, this adds location information.
For unnamed expressions, the value is no longer printed. This will be
added back in a follow-up commit.

rillig | make: add more context information to error messages
In case of a parse error or evaluation error, print the variable value
in addition to the variable name, to see the effects of previous
expression modifiers.
In nested make calls, print the current directory at the bottom of a
stack trace, as that information is otherwise hard to get in a parallel
build spanning multiple directories.

rillig | make: improve error message for unknown modifier
Back in 1995, the modifiers were all single-character, and it made sense
to print only the first character. Nowadays, with ':S', ':@var@...@',
'::=' and several others, a little more context is useful to see where
the exact error is. The actual modifier is still guessed, and the guess
may be wrong as soon as backslashes get involved, but it is still better
than before.

rillig | make(1): add test for expansion errors in jobs mode
Since compat mode and jobs mode are implemented separately and vary in
lots of small details, each of them needs to be tested on its own.
