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.

make: use '"filename" line 123' for locations instead of 'filename:123'
The format 'filename:123' is commonly used for identifying a location in a file. Text editors recognize it and allow quick navigation through it. The previous format was specific to make and would have required custom support in editors.
The new format was already used in stack traces, except for the first line. Now all lines use the same format.

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".

make: omit redundant follow-up message "Malformed conditional"
If there is a parse error or an evaluation error during the conditional, the conditional is already mentioned in the "while evaluating condition" line, so there's no reason to repeat it once again.
Same for the "Bad condition" message from the '?:' modifier.

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.

make: in error message about conditionals, use single quotes
Single quotes are used less often in the conditionals themselves, which leads to fewer confusions.

make: on error, print the targets to be made
This helps to understand situations with several nested sub-makes in varying directories.

tests/make: replace 'variable expression' with 'expression'
Each expression is based on a variable, there's no need for the verbosity. The wording in make's diagnostics will be changed in a follow-up commit.

tests/make: force line-based diagnostics to be listed in the tests
This way, contradictions between the intended output and the actual output are closer together and have a better chance of being spotted.

tests/make: migrate cond1 test to other, more specific tests
The tests in cond1 were a mixture of "everything related to conditions", and the test cases were heavily dependent on each other, which made them hard to understand. Move each test case to its corresponding special-purpose test.

make: fix reported line numbers of continuation lines (since 2002)
Previously, multi-line directives like '.info' or '.error' reported the line number of their last line instead of their first line, which is more usual. This also affected the debug log from '-dp'.

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.

make(1): error out on unknown variable modifiers at parse time
Before, make printed an "error message" that did not include the word error and thus was not easily identified as such. This "error message" also did not influence the exit status in the default mode but only in -dL mode. The error message also didn't include any line number information and was thus rude.

make(1): add dummies for fine-grained tests, one per single feature
The test names have been derived from the current manual page.
All these tests are dummies right now, and the code from the existing tests will be moved into the new tests step by step.
This is done to prevent modmisc, escape, varmod-edge and varmisc from growing without any bounds, and to reduce the side-effects of one test to the others.
