 1.10  30-Mar-2025  rillig 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.
 1.9  14-Jan-2025  rillig make: simplify code for evaluating the '!=' variable assignment

An undefined variable evaluates to an empty string, without an error
message.
 1.8  11-Jan-2025  rillig make: replace "Malformed conditional" with "Variable is undefined"

Evaluating a conditional such as ".if ${UNDEF}" produced a "Malformed
conditional" error, even though the form of the conditional was correct,
it was the content of the variable that was wrong.

Replace this message with the more accurate "Variable is undefined",
revealing which of the possibly many variables is actually undefined.
 1.7  30-Jun-2024  rillig make: add detailed exit status to message for failed sub-commands

Several commands communicate via the exit status and not only
distinguish between zero and non-zero, so make this information
available to ease investigations.

The command "false" is not guaranteed to exit with a consistent status,
so use "(exit 13)" instead in the tests, to keep these tests portable
across different operating systems. The exit status 127 is required for
a shell that cannot find a command, so keep that one.
 1.6  01-Jun-2023  rillig branches: 1.6.2;
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.
 1.5  10-Jan-2022  rillig make: add debug logging for capturing the output of external commands

This applies to all 4 situations in which the output of an external
command is used for modifying a variable or an expression:

* the assignment operator '!='
* the assignment modifier '::!='
* the SUN shell modifier ':sh'
* the other shell modifier ':!cmd!'

Previously, only the shell modifier ':!cmd!' had debug logging.

Suggested by Christoph Badura.
 1.4  09-Jan-2022  rillig tests/make: demonstrate inconsistencies in Cmd_Exec callers

The assignment 'VAR != cmd' generates a warning, the others generate an
error message. That error message is ignored for backwards
compatibility though.

The assignment via the expression ${VAR::!=cmd} only uses the output of
the command if there was no error, the other places use the output
nevertheless.
 1.3  06-Feb-2021  sjg Use plain kill to test signaled child

Recent update to Darwin18 make the test using kill -14
stop working.

 1.2  09-Nov-2020  rillig make(1): move test for != assignments to var-op-shell
 1.1  16-Aug-2020  rillig 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.
 1.6.2.1  01-Jul-2024  perseant Sync with HEAD.
