[PATCH 11/16] Makefile: re-add and use the "shellquote" macros

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

Re-add and use, and expand on "shellquote" macros added in
4769948afe7 (Deal with $(bindir) and friends with whitespaces.,
2005-10-10).

We avoided using them due to the "$(call)" feature of GNU make being
relatively new at the time, but it isn't anymore. We hard depend on
GNU make versions that have it.

The use of "$(call)" was removed in 39c015c556f (Fixes for ancient
versions of GNU make, 2006-02-18) and 7ffe7098dca (Fix installation of
templates on ancient systems., 2006-07-29) due to those
incompatibilities with older GNU make versions, and we've used the
more verbose *_SQ pattern ever since.

The "$(call)" feature was introduced in GNU make version 3.78,
released on the 22nd of September, 1999. That release also introduced
"$(error)" and "$(warning)", which we've been making use of since
f2fabbf76e4 (Teach Makefile to check header dependencies, 2010-01-26).

This extends upon the macros added in 4769948afe7: We now have macros
for quoting a ' inside '', and a ' with no surrounding '' as before.

Additionally provide and use a "shelldquote" macro along with
"shellquote" for the common case of wanting to quote a C string we
pass to the compiler with a -D flag.

This doesn't get rid of all of our shell quoting. We've still got some
in the main Makefile, let's leave most of it to avoid in-flight
conflicts. I've fully converted "templates/Makefile" and "t/Makefile"
though.
