rillig | make: only switch to POSIX mode if '.POSIX:' is the first line
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/make.html
says that in order to make a makefile POSIX-conforming, its first
non-comment line must be the special dependency line '.POSIX:' without
any source dependencies.
Previously, make switched to POSIX mode even if such a line occurred
anywhere else, which was allowed by POSIX but was deep in the
"unspecified behavior" area. For NetBSD make, there is no big
difference since it doesn't ship any <posix.mk> file, this change mainly
affects the bmake distribution.
Previously, makefiles that contain '.POSIX:' somewhere in the middle
could fail due to <posix.mk> resetting .SUFFIXES, among other things.
Suggested by Simon J. Gerraty, who also reviewed an earlier version of
this change.
