 1.19  28-Jun-2025  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.
 1.18  04-Apr-2025  rillig make: fix error message for undefined variable in conditional

Previously, only ${UNDEF} had the proper error message, while
${UNDEF:M*} still produced the wrong "Malformed conditional".
 1.17  29-Mar-2025  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".
 1.16  11-Jan-2025  rillig 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.
 1.15  29-Aug-2024  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.
 1.14  06-Aug-2024  rillig make: in error message about conditionals, use single quotes

Single quotes are used less often in the conditionals themselves, which
leads to fewer confusions.
 1.13  05-Jul-2024  rillig make: in error messages for anonymous variables, log the value
 1.12  04-Jul-2024  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.
 1.11  20-Apr-2024  rillig branches: 1.11.2;
make: provide more context information for parse/evaluate errors
 1.10  17-Dec-2023  rillig tests/make: extend tests for include guards and empty expressions
 1.9  19-Nov-2023  rillig 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.
 1.8  01-Jun-2023  rillig 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.
 1.7  01-Nov-2020  rillig make(1): treat malformed :range, :ts and :[...] as errors

Before, integer overflow in the :[1..2] modifier had not been detected,
and the actual behavior varied between ILP64 and LP64I32 machines.

Before, the :ts modifier accepted character literals like \012345 and
\x1F600, which don't fit in a single character and were thus truncated.

Before, the :range modifier issued an "Unknown modifier" error message
for :range=x, which was not quite correct. The error message in this
case is now "Invalid number".
 1.6  01-Nov-2020  rillig make(1): add tests for the variable modifiers :[words] and :range
 1.5  01-Nov-2020  rillig make(1): add more tests for the variable modifier :range, edge cases
 1.4  27-Sep-2020  rillig make(1): add test cases for the :range variable modifier
 1.3  23-Aug-2020  rillig make(1): move tests for :hash :range :localtime into separate files
 1.2  16-Aug-2020  rillig make(1): describe the purpose of each newly added unit test dummy
 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.
 1.11.2.1  02-Aug-2025  perseant Sync with HEAD
