apb f34c12e989 Make ".WAIT" apply recursively to all children of nodes on the right
hand side of the .WAIT, except when the recursive interpretation would
cause a cycle in the dependency graph.

Discussed in tech-toolchain.  Reviewed by christos, sjg.

dsl de841c2752 Make .NOTPARALLEL stop the job engine issuing more than one token (instead
of trying to de-jobify the make.
You can now put .NOTPARALLEL in a submake of a recursive make (where it is
using a job-token pipe from the outer make and have it only run a single job.
You can also specify .NOTPARRALEL in the root makefile of a large recursive
make and have the submakes run multiple commands.
Add some diagnostics printfs (enabled with -dp) to the parser.

lukem 2bf924f405 Restore the rework from rev 1.115 and expand the description of .OBJDIR
to document the behaviour that is currently in use (the "./obj" and
"/usr/obj/`pwd`" behaviour).
Hopefully the existing .OBJDIR behaviour is clearer now.

wiz 47fb7786c1 Since the obj dir handling changes in the code have been
reverted, revert them in the man page too (i.e., revert v1.115).

lukem a6a204d392 Deprecate support for automagically setting the .OBJDIR to
./obj.${MACHINE}
	./obj
	/usr/obj/${PWD}

The rules for the default .OBJDIR setting are now simplified to
(and documented as) trying the chdir to the following
(if the appropriate variable is defined):
	${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}
	${MAKEOBJDIR}
	${.CURDIR}

.OBJDIR can be overridden in the makefile.
<bsd.obj.mk> uses this to provide the "culled" .OBJDIR semantics
for NetBSD's /usr/src builds.

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX & MAKEOBJDIR still can only be provided
in the environment or on make(1)'s command line.

Per discussion on tech-toolchain.
This should reduce a lot of lossage people have experienced over
the years with various .OBJDIR setups.

sjg 4d3fc51f60 Remove use of sh -e when running in compat mode.
Its not posix compliant and serves very little purpose.
With this change compat and jobs modes are consistent wrt how
they treat each line of a script.

Add support for the '+' command line prefix as required by posix.
Lines prefixed with '+' are executed even when -n is given.
[Actually posix says they should also be done for -q and -t]

lukem a2f8083d5d Add some subsections in the VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS section.
In the "modifier description" list, show each modifier with the leading `:'.
Rationale: it's hard to search for modifiers without it, and we already do
the same thing in the -options and .makecommands lists.  I now find it much
easier to find the description for a modifier in the man page.
