At present, the PREREQ-variable is effectively only used to detect if
prerequiste packages haven't run "make all" before make is run in a
given package. Also, it's only useful in $(TOPDIR). This commit
splits the variable up into PREREQ_BUILD and PREREQ_RUN, and makes
the variables available in every Makefile of a package by placing
them in defs.mk instead of topdir.mk.
This also fixes a problem that PREREQ was cached before being filled,
hence empty. Which effectively wasn't much of a problem, because it
was basically unused, but still.

cache.mk generates .project-cache.mk, and this commit supports
disabling the definitions in the generated cache by setting
JW_PKG_NO_CACHE=true.

Check with ifndef if a variable is defined before hard defining it in
cache.mk. This gives more flexibility when overriding variables with
local.mk.

.cache-projects.mk is not installed / packaged, which makes builds
against an installed jw-pkg considerably slower. Change that, at the
risk of making the installed jw-pkg-devel less versatile. This commit
installs a cache file cache-projects.mk, renamed from
.cache-projects.mk, because there's no justification for hiding an
installed makefile. At least I can't think of one.

This commit aims at improving speed by using better caching.
- Makefile, cache.mk: Split .cache.mk up
To allow caching of runtime path variables which are
project-specific, split .cache.mk up in .cache-project.mk and
.cache-projects.mk
- ldlibpath.mk: Cache ldlibpath, exepath and pythonpath
Place the output of $(call proj_query ldlibpath), $(call
proj_query, exepath) and $(call proj_query pythonpath) in
JW_PKG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH, JW_PKG_EXE_PATH, and JW_PKG_PYTHON_PATH
respectively, and cache the variables in make/.project-cache.mk.
- cache.mk: Use = instead of :=
Recursively expanded variables are nearly as fast as := variables
if the assigned value is a fixed string. And sometimes it's not,
rightly so, because variables get assigned below, as with
JW_PKG_XXX for instance.
- cache.mk: Use $(TOPDIR) as variable values
Replace absolute references to project's topdir by $(TOPDIR) with
sed. As soon as the project queries produce absolute paths, they
will be transformed into relative paths which allow the code base
to be moved to a different location and still remain functional
without a rebuild.

This commit tries to remove the necessity to call projects.py from $(TOPDIR) to
speed up recursive builds over all projects yet again. This is a major
undertaking. There are two variables which are filled py projects.py in
$(TOPDIR): PREREQ and PREREQ_DIRS. Sadly, the latter is a path relative to
$(TOPDIR)/make, so this is kind of pointless. Unless the cache is maintained in
$(TOPDIR), a thing I tried to avoid. So this commit is only able to cache
$(PREREQ), not $(PREREQ_DIRS), which still is a hassle. Introduced defs-dirs.mk
for that, to make it accessible to make.mk, and modified all the other parts of
the machinery, too.

This commit sees several improvements to the build performance:
- Introduce cache.mk, which creates makefiles caching often used
variables, per tree and per project.
- Define more variables with := enclosed in condistions, instead of
defining them with ?=, because the RHS of ?= is expanded deferredly.
- Add more definitions for executables.
- Move some more specialized definitions out into specialized makefiles,
notably htdocs.mk and tmpl.mk
