Subject: Makefile: limit make re-execution to avoid infinite spin

make-4.4 became intentionally more eager at rebuilding outdated Makefile
includes. Currently this causes `dtc` to spin infinitely in
parser/dependency loop:

    $ make
    ...
        CHK version_gen.h
         BISON dtc-parser.tab.h
         DEP dtc-lexer.lex.c
         DEP dtc-parser.tab.c
        CHK version_gen.h
         BISON dtc-parser.tab.h
         DEP dtc-lexer.lex.c
         DEP dtc-parser.tab.c
    ... # never stops

After the change build eventually fails when gets into this state:

    $ make
    ...
        CHK version_gen.h
        UPD version_gen.h
         DEP util.c
         BISON dtc-parser.tab.h
         DEP dtc-lexer.lex.c
         DEP dtc-parser.tab.c
        CHK version_gen.h
         BISON dtc-parser.tab.h
         DEP dtc-lexer.lex.c
         DEP dtc-parser.tab.c
    Makefile:394: *** "Make re-executed itself 10 times. Infinite recursion?".  Stop.

The actual recursion will be fixed separately.
