    Simplify make rules for vsc files and remove duplication · 042a98bc

    We use an implicit rule to tell make how to turn vsc into c and
    manually define the vsc files in Makefile.am. The implicit rule tells
    automake to add .vsc to SUFFIXES, which in turn allows us to add the
    actual vscs to varnishd_SOURCES.
    
    To avoid triple configuration of the list of built VSC .c and .h
    files, we generate these in configure. AC_SUBSTing files into _SOURCES
    is forbidden by autoconf for a good reason: Adding sources to the
    build should remain an explicit process to avoid accidentally
    compiling in code just because someone had files with a magic name
    lying around.
    
    As the implicit .vsc -> .c rule does not allow for additional
    dependencies, we add in the dependency to vsctool using the
    auto-generated list of c files.
    
    BUILT_SOURCES is used to ensure that, for default make targets,
    headers generated from vscs are always present before the actual
    varnishd sources are being build, of which some depend on vsc
    headers. For subsequent builds, include dependency tracking takes
    over.
    
    The Makefile rules are deliberately simple to hopefully cover all make
    flavours available on the planet. Notice that, for example, if we
    limited ourselves to gmake, we could use much simpler substitution
    rules to generate VSC_GEN_C and _H instead of the de-tour via
    configure.
    
    Portability is also the reason for renaming all vsc files.
