Macro assistance part 1 - macro directive

Define the &:macro directive, which is a dollar-doubled version of
make's own `define'.

We must introuce a new concept of `nesting', for when "the content of
the construct is $-doubled" in the words of the README.  The
implementation is in the main process_input_mk function: it is a
multi-line scope of some kind with an ad-hoc ending condition, and its
own dollar-doubling setting.

We will also want a convenient syntax for $(eval $(call...)), which
we're going to introduce in a moment.

Dollar doubling feature

This makes it easier to write certain rules commands, and macros
involving eval.  Further enhancements will follow, but for now:

* Document the new facility, including the &-escapes to turn it on and
  off, its effect, and the three within-doubling don't-double escapes.

* Implementation.  Specifically:
   - Rename od to oud (`undoubled').
   - Provide od which does double things if $ddbl (a global) is set.
   - Implement the escapes, and add some error checks.
   - Change `od' to `oud' in `&\$', so that that always produces an
     undoubled $.

* Enhance extract-doctest:
   - Set $e->{DD} to say if it's in `while dollar doubling'.
   - Filter out such entries from the `normal' test - they are not
     legal outside dollar-doubling.
   - Add a dollar-doubling test which includes versions of all
     the normal tests as well as the dollar-doubling ones, and
     which dollar-doubles the outputs when appropriate.

Interface: Rename Perdir to Suffix; provide Prefix

We want to be able to specify something that appears at the top of
every per-directory segment, principally to provide
for-every-directory variable settings.

A more sophisticated scheme akin to m4 diversions would be possible in
principle, but it would make organising the output files (which must
be processed by autoconf) really awkward - let alone the depenency
management for regenerating the makefiles.

So instead, simply provide a Prefix too.  Additionally, soon we are
going to introduce a Final.sd.mk which is processed right at the end.

I think this new scheme will be sufficient in principle to do anything
that might be needed.  Sadly it will continue to require that
&:include's are done in the right order.

"Suffix" and "Subdir" tab-complete really badly.  In a forthcoming
commit we will rename Subdir.sd.mk to Dir.sd.mk.
