[PATCH v2 3/4] Makefiles: change search through $(MAKEFLAGS) for GNU make 4.4

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

Since GNU make 4.4 the semantics of the $(MAKEFLAGS) variable has
changed in a backward-incompatible way, as its "NEWS" file notes:

  Previously only simple (one-letter) options were added to the MAKEFLAGS
  variable that was visible while parsing makefiles.  Now, all options are
  available in MAKEFLAGS.  If you want to check MAKEFLAGS for a one-letter
  option, expanding "$(firstword -$(MAKEFLAGS))" is a reliable way to return
  the set of one-letter options which can be examined via findstring, etc.

This upstream change meant that e.g.:

	make man

Would become very noisy, because in shared.mak we rely on extracting
"s" from the $(MAKEFLAGS), which now contains long options like
"--jobserver-auth=fifo:<path>", which we'll conflate with the "-s"
option.

So, let's change this idiom we've been carrying since [1], [2] and [3]
as the "NEWS" suggests.

Note that the "-" in "-$(MAKEFLAGS)" is critical here, as the variable
will always contain leading whitespace if there are no short options,
but long options are present. Without it e.g. "make --debug=all" would
yield "--debug=all" as the first word, but with it we'll get "-" as
intended. Then "-s" for "-s", "-Bs" for "-s -B" etc.
