These capture all the interesting data - useful for debugging.
In such cases there is no need to replicate commands in the build log.
Rather than run the entire build .SILENT, allow meta mode to set that flag
per target iff a .meta file is created.
Normal behavior is retained for targets where no .meta file is created,
ensuring that no build data is lost.
meta_oodate: if a file that was written or linked within our bailiwick,
but outside of .OBJDIR is missing, add it to missingFiles.
If we get to the end of the .meta file without seeing it [re]moved,
then consider the target out-of-date.
In this mode, a .meta file is created for each target, capturing
the expanded commands used, any command output, and if filemon(9)
is available, a record of system calls which are of interest.
Not enabled unless USE_META=yes is set when building make.
Also, if FILEMON_H exists, meta.c will be compiled to use filemon(9).
but not to track it - as is done for .export
This allows the variable to be updated without affecting what was put
into the environment.
Older versions of make will simply treat this as .export

Processed after all makefiles are read.
Can put make into "compat" mode (more to come).
Fix:
compat.c: Error code should not be sent to debug_file.
Make_DoAllVar: use DONE_ALLSRC to avoid processing a node multiple times.
ReadMakefile: we can simply use doing_depend to control setting MAKEFILE.

Use .MAKE.LEVEL to track recursion.
The first instance of make will have .MAKE.LEVEL 0, which
can be handy for excluding rules which should not apply
in a sub-make.
gmake and freebsd's make have a similar mechanism, but each
uses a different variable to track it. Since we cannot be
compatible with both, we allow the makefiles to cope if they want
by handling the export of .MAKE.LEVEL+1 in Var_Set().
applies to the variable name, not its value!
